An Introduction to Willow with Bridget King

We have now held our first ‘Introduction to Willow’ workshop which was very popular, so much so that we have booked another introduction workshop for the 19th October.  The day was great fun with lots of questions asked but we all soon got the hang of it.  We began making a basic fish shape to get used to handling the willow and then we progressed onto flowers.  We experimented with coloured willow and came up with some lovely results.

Some of the learners enjoyed the day so much that they have now signed up for the ‘Christmas Willow’ workshop, fantastic!
