Welcome to The Wellbourne Academy

Hand-tied bows and wreath making, and more taught with intention.

I’m Jill Lemos, and I’m glad you’re here.

The Wellbourne Academy is where I teach the exact methods I use in my own work — the quiet, deliberate way of building a wreath that feels elevated and finished. No rushed steps. No guesswork. Just clear lessons, exact materials lists, and the techniques that make a hand-tied bow and a balanced wreath look intentional.

You’ll start with the free class, Steadying the Plate, where you’ll learn how to level and support a plate on a wired wreath form so everything sits secure and professional. From there you can move into Master Bow Tying, Wreath Making Basics, Intermediate techniques, and the full Academy when you’re ready.

Every lesson is filmed slowly and clearly. You’ll see the wire work, the placement, and the finishing details. Each class includes a downloadable materials list and guide so you can follow along with confidence.

This is the craft the way I practice it — calm, precise, and beautiful.

Welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
