A fun workshop making decorations for use on the tree or around the home for this festive season. You will make and take home two small reindeer and two stars – and possibly more! These small decorations make adorable displays or perhaps as gifts for family and friends.
All items will be made out of willow (with possibly a little extra foliage or decoration)
We will use and learn basic weaving techniques that can then be used at a future time and date for trying something a little more challenging and creative.

“I really enjoyed the day, [creating] something I hadn’t done before. Jane was really good, demonstrated each process and went around helping us all. When I arrived, Jane was very nice and explained a few things about what to expect from the day. Jane was very well organised with everything in place for each person”
