Willow Weaving: Swedish Star

---

Join us at RHS Garden Hyde Hall for this delightful workshop where you'll get hands-on crafting a charming, eight-pointed, Swedish willow star. Led by a talented local willow weaver, learn how to create a classic Christmas decoration that exudes timeless elegance and rustic charm.

Following completion of your workshop, you may wish to further embellish your star at home with winter foliage, ribbons, and twinkling fairy lights. Whether you choose to display your creation indoors or out, it’s sure to bring a touch of festive magic.

This workshop is perfect for both beginners and those already familiar with working with willow, promising an enjoyable experience for all.

Tutor: Deb Hart has been running willow and basket weaving workshops all over the UK, and in Canada for the last 20 years. She is a keen wildlife gardener, which lends itself to willow weaving and keeping things around us as natural as possible, without creating an unnecessary impact on our environment.
