Afternoon

In this afternoon workshop you can weave a 3D Willow Heart.

Both are perfect decorations to hang in your home or outside all year round or make as a gift for a loved one!

The Angel here has been made using Buff Willow which has had the bark removed before drying, the Willow is then soaked for around 1.5 hrs prior to use and left for 24hrs to mellow. The Heart can be made from either buff or brown willow. Brown willow still has its bark and has been re-hydrated before use for 24hrs hours for every foot in length!

If you finish making your Willow Angel or Heart early you can also make a small Star or mini Christmas Tree!

Willow Christmas Tree

Weave your very own Christmas Tree from Willow ready to take home and decorate.

We make our Willow Christmas Trees by supporting the upright Willow rods in a jig and then using Willow withies to weave the tree. We start in a similar way to making a garden obelisk using a tabletop jig, the weave is then changed and we end up with a beautiful, full-looking Christmas tree. There are different weaves that can be used to create your own design, every tree is unique!

Suitability

The workshop is suitable for adults and children (if accompanied by a paying adult). You will be able to work independently or in pairs.
