Make a willow
swallow

This hands-on, two hour workshop introduces the craft of willow weaving by guiding you through the creation of a beautiful swallow silhouette. You will learn the foundational techniques specific to creating detailed, flat shapes and defined edges using prepared willow rods. For those who work quickly, there will be some other small willow projects to build your skills. No previous weaving experience is required.
