    Garden Craft

Join experienced willow artist, Deb Hart, and learn the traditional craft of willow weaving. Spend a relaxing day creating a willow wren ball (approximate size 18 inches), which provides the perfect place for an overnight stop for wrens. Further embellish your wren ball by turning it into a poppy head if you wish. You will learn a random weave technique which is an excellent introduction to start sculpture weaving – from people to animals.
Your finished piece can be mounted to stand in a flower bed or can be hung from a bush or a tree – a striking addition to any garden.
