Willow Woven Stars for Christmas
Discover the art of willow weaving in this festive, one-day workshop. You'll learn how to source, prepare and work with this surprisingly versatile natural material, gaining the skills and inspiration to transform raw willow into beautiful, handmade creations just in time for Christmas.

In the workshop, you'll use a variety of techniques to create your own beautiful willow star decorations. In the morning we will make a Nordic star. After the lunch break, you will have the option to make another Nordic star or to choose from a selection including a five-pointed star, star bunting or decorations and star wands.
