Explore the calming, mindful art of Willow Weaving with experienced tutor, Mel Roberts.
This welcoming and relaxed workshop gives you the opportunity to learn a new craft and embrace your creativity as you make your own beautiful willow dragonfly.
No prior experience is required. All tools, materials and clear step-by-step instruction are included, helping you create a unique piece to take home. This workshop is designed for adults; accompanied children aged 14+ are also welcome.
Please note that willow contains the same chemical found in Aspirin. It is therefore not recommended for anyone with an aspirin allergy unless gloves are worn.
Your booking for this one-day course also includes free access to explore the gardens at Hever Castle on the day of your workshop. Castle upgrade tickets will be available on arrival.
You can also make your own willow flower wreath at a workshop on Saturday 25th April.
