Willow Weaving Workshop: Bird Feeders

This fun willow weaving workshop, led by Joe Gregory of Creative with Nature, is a great way to unwind by getting hands-on with a natural material while developing a new skill. This workshop is suitable for guests who want to enjoy, discover, or learn from it, regardless of their existing skill level; however, a degree of manual dexterity is required.

You’ll learn some of the basics of willow weaving as you create functional and beautiful willow bird feeders.

Garden birds love to perch on willow while nibbling tasty treats, so these are sure to be a welcome addition to any outside space. You'll work with the highest-quality English willow, and your final feeders will be biodegradable, with no plastic waste. Your beautiful bird feeder is sure to last for years to come, and the workshop will leave you with the skills to make more if you wish. You will need a degree of manual dexterity to work with willow.
