Mini Wattle Hurdle Workshop

Would you like to learn a heritage skill?

Join Lorraine and Paul for our Mini-Wattle Hurdle Workshop and learn the traditional weaving technique used to create hurdles of all sizes! We will be using Willow or Hazel we coppice in Surrey to make our hurdles. We will have two sizes of jigs, 4ft and 6ft in length. We will be making hurdles suitable for use as border edging.

NEW DATES FOR 2022 WILL BE PUBLISHED SOON.

Time

Full-day workshop: – 10.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. (includes a 1-hour break for lunch)

Sussex Prairie Gardens, Morlands Farm, Wheatsheaf Rd, Henfield BN5 9AT

Suitability

The workshop is suitable for adults and teenagers. All materials and tools to make your hurdle will be provided and you will get to take your finished work home.

What should I wear?

We recommend you wear comfortable, outdoor clothing and footwear. You may also wish to bring a pair of gloves, to protect your hands and your own secateurs if you have them. However, don’t worry we will have some spare gloves and secateurs for you to use on the day if you don’t have your own.

If you prefer to work from a tabletop this is possible when using the 4ft jig.
