Sculptural Willow Weaving - Animals

£95.00

In this willow weaving workshop, we will look at willow in both 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 will be introduced to creating an animal that is able to be kept in a garden or green space. As an individual, you can work independently on a small piece or in a friend/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 also provide unique opportunities to groups or businesses to create artworks that can be donated to community groups and schools. Helping to enrich you local area with some fun and environmentally conscious creatures that delight passers-by of all ages.

You take home special memories, new skills and an improved wellbeing.

Under a large parachute canopy and around an open fire, you will be kept warm and dry while you weave.

Location

This workshop is carried out at “The Clearing”, an outdoor purpose-built creative space in Lesnes Abbey Woods.
