Willow Dragonfly Workshop

  • Florence Arts Centre Egremont, England, CA22 2NR United Kingdom (map)

Experienced local basket maker, Helen Elvin, will guide you through the process of making a delicate decoration for the garden using willow wands. They look lovely in amongst your flowers on a cane so they sway in the breeze! Final size about 80-100 cm long

The workshop will be relaxed and informative and all materials and tools are supplied as well as welcome teas and coffees. You will work at your own pace and each person's dragonfly will be different!

Bookigs close 5 April so don't delay!

Helen is an experienced willow weaver and teacher who began basket weaving 20 years ago when working for the Groundwork Trust on environmental education projects. As well as willow work, Helen also restores local woodland, improving the woodland for wildlife and producing resources for her beautiful garden furniture and hurdles. https://elvincrafts.co.uk/

Please bring your own lunch to share during the break. Snacks and drinks are available from the centre.

No experience is necessary, but you’ll need some strength and dexterity in your hands.
