Join Lorraine and team from Hedges & Hurdles Country Skills & Crafts for a festive Christmas Workshop utilising natural materials. Bring some rustic charm to your garden and home in time for Christmas.
All materials used are sustainable, sourced locally or obtained through coppicing as part of a woodland and garden management programme. You will learn from Lorraine how Willow and Hazel is grown in the UK and it’s different uses.
Traditional Swedish Star
In this workshop you will learn to weave two natural and traditional Swedish Stars using Willow in contrasting colours to be combined together to make an attractive Christmas decoration.
Natural Christmas Wreath
You will have a wide selection of natural materials fresh and dried (including hops) to choose from to decorate your wreath base once made and will be shown different techniques to achieve your very own unique design.
Willow Angel
Working with Willow is a mindful and relaxing activity. In this workshop you will learn how to weave an Angel using a wooden, table top jig. There are different styles of Angels for you to create, Lorraine will guide you through the different techniques to weave, bind and sew the Willow to create a lovely Angel for you to display at home.
Willow Heart
Create a beautiful Willow Heart from Willow. Learn how to create a 3D armature you can then weave onto in order to create an effective decoration for your home or garden. Add some dried flowers to your heart to make it a bit more special. This makes for a lovely gift for Christmas!
The Tap will be open as normal, for additional food (including our exciting new Winter Menu) and drinks (including Mulled Cider).
