In this willow weaving workshop, we will look at willow in its dry and wet states and begin to handle and learn techniques to manipulate it. once we have a good understanding, we will then immerse ourselves into the wonderful rhythm of weaving.

You can work on your own on a small piece, or in a friend or family group to create more ambitious scaled work. Remember it has to fit in your vehicle at the end of the session!

At Creative Nature HQ, we differ from other crafts courses in that we also give opportunities to groups or businesses to create artworks that can be donated to community groups and schools. You take home unique memories, new skills and an improved wellbeing.

Each participant has an allocated amount of willow . If your piece extends a lot further, an additional charge may be incurred for the extra willow needed to finish your piece. We can decide this together during the making process.

Your tutor, Stephen,  has been working with willow for over 30 years and trained as a sculptor and Forest School teacher.

(14th & 21st January, 4th & 11th February and 25th February & 3rd March)
These are practical hands on sessions, looking at designing and making living willow structures. You will be shown how to lay out, plant and construct with living willow; and will help build a large structure using traditional weaving techniques. We will be exploring domes, tunnels, archways and more sculptural forms. You will also be taught about the care and maintenance required for a structure to thrive in its environment. These workshops are being offered in a short window of opportunity to both harvest and plant living willow structures.

The sessions run from 10am till 4pm.

Warm comfortable weather-proof clothing is essential. Please bring a packed lunch and a flask. There are composting toilets on site, as well as fresh drinking  water.
