Breezy Knees Gardens, York.
Join Anna and the Willow this August to create your own Willow Hare!
During this full day workshop, Anna will instruct you on the art of Willow weaving, giving you the practical skills to build your own creations. All materials & tools provided, and at the end of the end you'll walk home with your very own garden scultpure and willow weaving skills.
Willow weaving is hard on your hands & joints. Please be aware that a full day of making a sculpture or basket is physical. Gloves are optional but not necessary. If you would prefer to use gloves please bring a pair with you.
On the day:
Please arrive for a 10am start and 'check in' at the Garden admission building. We'll then point you in the direction to start your day. The Hare Workshop will run from 10am-4.30pm. There will be a break for lunch - please feel free to bring your own pack up, or to order food from the cafe.
About Anna:
I've been working creatively with english willow for 11 years combining traditional skills with artistic practice. I make sculptures on commission for organisations, businesses, charities & private clients throughout the UK & internationally.
nB. this workshop requires a minimum of 6 people to run and a maximum of 10. This workshop will take place 'before' the garden entrance (although your day will likely be too full of willow weaving to fit in a stroll around the gardens!).
