Willow Crafts: Sculptures

Join Lorraine for a full-day or two-day Willow Sculpture workshop and release your inner creativity whilst being inspired by either the surrounding woodlands, lakes, and gardens of Birtley Woodland Art Space, or the picturesque hilltop views of Wonham Barn in Reigate.

We offer a selection of workshops for you to choose from, including the opportunity to learn how to weave a Willow Pig, Sheep, Hen, Chicken, Pheasant, Goose, Duck, Fox, Owl, Tortoise, Fawn, Doe, Buck, Rabbit, Hare, Bumble Bee, Mushrooms, and more, or create your own design in our ‘Your Choice workshops’.

Our Adult Deer workshop is held over two days.

YOUR CHOICE’ SCULPTURE WORKSHOP

In this one-day workshop, the choice of what you make is up to you! We will provide you with sufficient Willow that we believe you will need to create a sculpture in a day. You will be able to buy additional Willow if required. Lorraine will be on hand to provide you with guidance and help by showing you weaving techniques to help you create your sculpture of choice. See the group cover photo for this website page above to see examples and the size of what you can potentially make in a day.

WORKSHOPS

Regardless of the location of our workshop or what you decide to make will start our workshop by either looking at photos of the bird or animal we will be sculpting with Willow, focusing on their shape and form to inspire the design of our sculptures.

This workshop suits smaller groups and has a tutor/trainee ratio of 1 to 8 maximum.
