Programme
One day 9.30am - 3.30pm
Using Sussex-grown willow we will work with a jig, employing 'reverse pairing' with bundles of willow to build our structure. The afternoon will be shorter, as we are often tired after the physicality of the morning, and we will be consolidating skills learnt in the morning to make a smaller obelisk.
What to Expect
A fun, enjoyable, practical day learning willow weaving skills.
You will be able to take home your woven items that you make.
Willow weaving requires some strength and dexterity in the hands and course participants should be aware that sharp tools will be used and some activities will require reasonable physical input.
What to Bring
Please bring a packed lunch. Refreshments will be provided, including a homemade cake.
Parking is available at the entrance to our farm and our training room is just a short walk down our track.
Bring yourself, confirmation of your booking, a kneeling mat or similar, a notebook and any questions you may have.
It is helpful if you can bring your own secateurs. Tools to share will be provided.
Please arrive in a medium-large sized car to transport your obelisks home. It is advisable to put your seats down to accommodate the structures
Please arrive 15 mins before the start of the course for a prompt start
