I wanted to learn the basics to enable me to start designing and making willow structures in customers gardens. I googled willow weaving workshops.
On Saturday 4th March 2017 I headed off to Kings Cliffe in Peterborough to an open willow workshop. With the assistance of Sue Kirk, an exceptional tutor, I definitely learnt the basics and made a free-standing plant support. It stands in pride of place in my garden
Others made complex pieces, which they very kindly allowed me to take images of. This is exactly what I want to be able to create.
My annual visit to Chelsea always finds me on the look out for intricate willow designs. This incredible piece was from 2015.
I have some hazel rods. I have ordered some brown willow, and when time allows I am going to get into the weave.
