Weave a Willow Christmas Angel in the Walled Garden

About

Join us in the Walled Garden for a fun, relaxed, willow weaving workshop and create your own Christmas Angel to add a rustic touch of seasonal charm to your home or garden just in time for Christmas!

The workshop is on
Sunday 9th November 10am -4.30pm

You will spend the day with experienced local willow artist, Heather McDermott, who will guide you through the various traditional willow weaves, and practical processes involved using the homegrown sustainable willow from our Saillie garden

Decorate your angel with LED lights or use natural elements like ivy and berries for a more natural organic look…or why not both??

This workshop is perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike.
While no prior experience is needed, some manual dexterity and hand strength is required to work with the willow.

Whether you come with friends, family, colleagues, or on your own, you're sure to enjoy this creative, festive experience.

Tickets are £85 per person, which includes:
Expert instruction
All tools and materials
Morning and afternoon tea/coffee with homemade scones and cake
A delicious homemade lunch

Don't miss out on the chance to create something truly unique!
