Make a large flying insect on a supportive metal frame to display in the garden. This is a creative workshop full of possibilities for making a unique interactive garden decoration. You will get a feel for working with willows and be able to experiment and learn about different types of willow with varying colours and textures. Learn some basic free-weaving techniques to create an animated bouncing insect of your choice - choose from dragonflies, butterflies, bees or more. Jane Fletcher joined us as a new tutor last year, expanding the range of willow workshops that we offer at RHS Rosemoor. She has been exploring possibilities with willow for 18 years, running workshops and establishing a nursery, Really Useful Plants, in Starcross, Devon. Among other things, they specialise in growing willow species as ornamental and wildlife plants as well as for hedging, sculpture, basketry, floristry and craft purposes.
Jane has a Foundation Degree in Environmental Art and Rural Crafts, with a background in facilitation and supportive roles as a Rural Skills Tutor, and Therapeutic Conservation and Horticulture support worker. She is passionate about traditional crafts and nature connections and is keen to engage others with the joy of working with willow.
