A fun workshop making a 3D quirky bird with willow, supported on a metal frame. 

You will use and learn basic weaving techniques that can then be used for trying something a little more challenging and creative in future.  Jane will demonstrate each stage of the process and there will be time for questions and discussion about all things willow!

What to bring

An apron, gloves, sensible shoes and a sense of fun!

If you prefer to bring your own secateurs, please do so.

  • All materials including different types of willow, and secateurs / snips.

  • Coffee, tea and biscuits

Cost

£85 per person.

Spaces limited to 6 so book early to avoid disappointment!

Please be aware this workshop requires a degree of manual strength and dexterity

I really enjoyed the day, something I hadn’t done before. Jane was really good, demonstrated each process and went around helping us all, to see if we needed help. 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
