MAGICAL WILLOW  WEAVING

Traditional & Contemporary Willow Weaving.

Baskets, Living Willow, Sculptures, Garden Features, Demonstrations, Magical Willow Workshops, Courses & Commissions.

We specialise in working with individuals, community, conservation/environment groups and schools to create willow structures that enhance parks, school grounds and gardens. We also work to commission and can create unique and durable living structures for play, shelter or habitat. We teach courses throughout the UK and run a wide range of willow courses at countryside locations for children and adults. We have worked with organisations such as the The Lake District National Park Authority, The National Trust, The Great North Forest, Groundwork Trust, Surestart, Natural England, BTCV, The Environment Agency, The RHS and Horticultural Colleges.

Our Magical Willow Workshops are for children to learn about the natural environment and create faerie garlands, wands, stars and creatures using willow and other materials such as ribbon, leaves, glitter and pine cones.

We have been working on 'Living Shade' projects in Sefton, Houndslow and Cleveland and 'Britain In Bloom' projects in Southport, Whitehaven and Hawkshead.

We are happy to facilitate willow projects great and small, for museums, parks, local authorities, landscaping and gardens. Living willow sculpture has become a very popular garden art form that provides both interest for people and habitat for wildlife. Domes, tunnels, arbors & screening can be made using live willow rods.
