About this Event
Willow weaving expert and sculptor Gina returns with a series of workshops this year. Under Gina’s guided instruction, you will create your own sculpture such as a dragonfly and obelisk.
This is the workshop you need to do if you have not tried willow weaving before. It is a very popular workshop, we have been running for many years and we get lots of positive feed back.
The workshop naturally begins with coffee and cake. Gina then introduces the class to the possibilities of willow weaving and where to obtain your materials should you wish to develop your weaving skills further at home after the workshop.
The second workshop, our Advanced Willow Workshop on Saturday 17 August 2024 is aimed at those who have tried and enjoyed this Willow Weaving workshop this year or in a previous years and wish to develop their skills a little further making animals such as a deer or goose (loose duck).
We are offering 10% off the Advanced Course if you book in conjunction with the 2024 Beginners course
