Living Willow 2015

We have already worked with a few schools this year making living willow structures. The pictures below are from the horticultural college in Mold, North Wales where the students helped to tame a willow project created in 2003. The willows had not been touched for a couple of years and needed a major overhaul! We worked for 2 days in wind, rain and snow!!

Willow Weaving In Schools

we have been busy over the past 2 weeks working in schools around the country. We still have some days available for living willow projects in the New Year.

LIVING WILLOW FOR SCHOOLS

Midsummer School Willow Sculpture in WArrington

We spent a nice 2 days at Culcheth working with the local school as part of their arts week. The weather was really kind and we were able to work outside the whole time.
We worked with the whole school with groups of 30 children at a time. Everyone had a lovely time and we made quite a few sculptures. see the pictures below

Our display at Hampton Court RHS Flower Show last year

we will be building another willow display at RHS Tatton Park in July

Tatton Park Country Fair

we will be demonstrating willow weaving and basketmaking at Tatton Park this weekend.

Willow Sculpture Projects for Schools

We are running quite a few school projects throughout the summer. Popular sculptures are giant suns, flowers, deer, pigs and wishing trees. The wishing trees are very much in demand as schools can use them in future art projects to display craft items made to celebrate various occasions throughout the year.
we still have some availability for the summer term.

Our willow projects are suitable for children of all ages.
