Experience the soothing, mindful craft of Willow Weaving with tutor, Mel Roberts.
This friendly and informal workshop invites you to learn a new skill and unlock your creativity as you create your very own willow flower wreath.
No previous experience is needed. All tools, materials and step-by-step guidance are provided, ensuring you can craft something special to take home. The workshop is suitable for adults, and accompanied children aged 14+ are welcome to attend.
Please note that willow contains the same chemical as Aspirin. For this reason, it is not recommended for those with an aspirin allergy unless protective gloves are worn.
Your one-day course booking also includes free entry to explore the gardens at Hever Castle on the day of your visit. Castle upgrade tickets will be available on entry.
If you’re feeling inspired, you may also enjoy creating a willow dragonfly in one of our other workshops.
| Mel lives on borders of Kent and Surrey where she manages a small woodland with her partner. She has always had a love of nature and especially woodland habitats and loves to create with natural materials. Mel has been weaving willow since first attending a workshop at Hever castle herself in 2021. She has a background in education with over 20 years’ experience of teaching, and school leadership as well as being a Forest School leader. Mel now runs willow weaving workshops as a Nature Makers franchisee. Her relaxed, friendly workshops allow participants to take some time out from the pressures of modern life and find calm focus in the mindful craft of willow weaving.
