Fancy a challenge?

Come with your ideas and pictures. We will start with scale drawings. I will show you how to use them in constructing a small armature, which we will make in wire. Or if you prefer, a ready made armature can be purchased, if organised in advance.

Then we shall be concentrating on identifying the shapes and characteristics of the chosen bird or animal, interpreting them as we weave with willow.

 

All materials, equipment, refreshments and a delicious lunch of homemade soup, home baked bread  and local cheeses will be provided.

Cost £220, payable upon booking. If the workshop is not able to run you will receive a full refund.

Workshops will run with a minimum of 4 people. 

 

 

"I wanted to say a huge thank you for the workshop last week, plus a big thank you to your husband for two very delicious lunches!

I so enjoyed the whole thing - including the way that it challenged me – and found the whole process fascinating. Maybe I was a wee bit over-ambitious in starting with a sculpture, having never done anything like this before, however I think it all worked out really well, I learned such a lot and I will know more for when I do this again (which I’d love to do). I finished my hare’s leg after I came home and have attached a photo. He’s not perfect however I am absolutely delighted with him and feel very proud! All down to having a really good teacher who helps, advises and encourage her students, enabling self-belief and freedom to be creative without feeling judged."
