Advertisement
Join Judith Needham and make a large willow star covered in random weaving and decorate it with fairy lights.
What to expect:
Learn how to create and weave a willow star. Hang it on your front door instead of a wreath, show it off on the top of your tree or display it on a wall all year round.
Various sizes are possible up to about 50cm across. Suitable for beginners and those who have worked with willow before.
What to bring/ wear:
All materials will be provided (including fairy lights for your first star).
Benefits:
In this workshop you will be learning the traditional craft of willow weaving which not only creates a decorative item for you to take home to enjoy, it also helps promote and celebrate this ancient heritage craft. As a hands on workshop, working with this natural material is a great creative work-out for your hands!
Who is your tutor:
Judith Needham is a basket maker and willow weaver based in Farnham, Surrey, England's Craft Town. Judith specialises in woven willow playhouses but she also make baskets and teaches basket making and willow sculpture workshops. Judith enjoys passing on her skills through teaching workshops to adults and children at various venues across Surrey and Hampshire.
