Willow Craft

weaving a basket

Our much loved willow craft courses are one off workshops where you get to create something beautiful to take home.

Maybe you fancy a festive reindeer to decorate your garden at Christmas or a beautiful willow owl or moon gazing hare.  Our berry basket workshop can provide a stylish eco friendly option for popping to the shops.

On all our workshops you will learn the creative potential of willow, how to source it, how to prepare it, the different types and what works best for what project.

If you are interested in joining a Willow Craft course, please make sure you enrol by the deadline (usually a week before the course takes place) as enough willow needs to be soaked for several days before the course.
