This workshop WILLOW WEAVING is targeted at beginners who need no experience. It is suitable for children but youngsters will need to be supervised.

Using fresh willow, participants will learn about:

Selecting the right medium
Stripping the Willow
Keeping the Willow supple
Forming simple shapes
Building your creation

Participants will go home with a (small) willow wreath or other creation and the skills to continue exploring their new hobby!

Your workshop leader is Allison, a palawa woman who has been weaving since childhood. Allison is a specialist in utilising her surroundings to create, upcycle and innovate whilst keeping her creations in sync with nature.

All materials will be provided but if you'd like to bring some greenery or flowers to decorate your wreath you are most welcome!

We welcome all ages to our workshops as long as young people are supervised.
