Willow Weaving – Stag Head – Wednesday 2nd December
Join us for a relaxing day weaving a stag head. Your creation will be an excellent way to great your guests throughout the Christmas season and beyond!
The course will be led by Jess Wilkinson Willow.
This masterclass is open to all abilities, no experience is necessary. All that is required is nimble fingers and a bit of hand strength. You will learn simple yet satisfying weaving techniques in a relaxed, creative setting.
This is a 1 day weaving workshop. We will start by creating the frame and build out from there creating the details, ears, antlers, muzzle all from the versatile and natural fibres of willow.
Lots of people attend these workshops alone and make friends with like-minded people on the day, so please do not worry about coming solo!
All materials are included.
Tea and coffee will be available throughout the day. A ploughmans style lunch will be provided, with a complementary glass of wine from our vineyard. Please let us know in advance of any dietary requirements.
Please wear old clothes and comfortable shoes.
Suitable for ages 14+. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult who is also attending the course.
About the artist – Jess Wilkinson Willow:
Jess is inspired by her natural surroundings and this is reflected in her work. With many pieces taking on the shape of natural forms.
She works with natural sustainable materials such as willow, cornus, birch and many other locally grown woods, to recreate organic sculptural forms. Jess combines traditional basketry techniques with contemporary sculptural design. Her work ranges from smaller functional baskets and lampshades to large scale randomly woven garden sculptures.
Jess is based on a farm in North Yorkshire where she grows and harvests her own willow for her sculptures and workshops.
