Our 2025 Workshop Programme

Workshops for beginners

If you are a complete beginner we have three fabulous tutors who will be teaching here in October and November. Judi Evans will be teaching Round Shoppers. Emma and Stuart from the Coddiwomplers will be teaching the spiral and plait technique and Christmas decorations. They are all experts in teaching beginners and have some fun projects to teach. These introductory courses are designed to give you a flavour of working with willow. 

Workshop availability

*Nadine Anderson will be here in September to teach her beautiful contemporary Arch and Nut Baskets using rush with a bent hazel frame.

*Judy Simmonds will also be here in November to teach the beautiful willow Celtic Knot Basket which is an incredible structure, held together with tension and balance.
