Willow Christmas Decorations
This one-day workshop is an introduction to willow weaving and how you can use this versatile material. You will learn how to prepare it and discover its uses.

In the workshop you can use a variety of techniques to create your own beautiful Christmas decorations. We will be making a Nordic star and Christmas tree or angel and other smaller items, which can be used as tree decorations or hung on the wall.
