About the event

This Christmas, join the Coddiwomplers for festive willow-weaving workshops. With guidance from two experienced basket makers, you’ll learn some of the basic skills and techniques of willow weaving while creating beautiful Christmas decorations for your home.

The morning workshop will involve creating up to four festive decorations, including a wreath, mini reindeer, star and spiral weave Christmas tree. Every piece will be unique and handcrafted by you, making them perfect for decorating your home or for giving as gifts.

The afternoon workshop attendees will make a 1m-wide willow star using the ‘wild weave’ technique. The finished star will make a stunning feature on a wall or hanging outside, and you can even add lights for some extra festive sparkle.

These workshops are suitable for complete beginners, so no previous experience is necessary. However, as willow weaving is a hands-on craft, a reasonable level of hand strength and manual dexterity is required.

Whether you’ve always wanted to try willow weaving or simply fancy a creative festive escape, this relaxed and friendly workshop is the perfect way to spend a few hours in the run-up to Christmas.

All materials and tools will be provided.

Tea and coffee will be provided throughout the course.
