Make a Willow Christmas Tree in this three hour workshop
Saturday 28th November
Oak Lodge, High Lodge Visitor Centre, Brandon IP27 0AF
Celebrate Christmas with your own handwoven willow tree and star for indoor and outdoor display.
Lights can be added to your tree as you weave, and we have a variety of coloured wires to add colour and interest to your star too. Trees will measure around 4ft in height.
There is no age limit but children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent.
Willow is a lovely medium to work with and most people find weaving relaxing and therapeutic. However, it can be quite hard on the fingers. We can find ways to alleviate this for most people, but if you have arthritis or other mobility issues you might want to discuss this with Toni first to see what help we can offer.
Tools will be provided, but if you have them please bring:
Sharp secateurs or garden scissors (many people prefer using ones they are used to)
A pruning knife if you have one
Coffee/tea and biscuits throughout the workshop are included.
There is a charge for parking at High Lodge and we will provide a QR code to reduce this to £5. If you are being dropped off and collected there are slightly different arrangements, please let us know and we will organise this for you.
