It’s the time of year when we start trimming our hedges and dead flower stalks… why not make something with the trimmings?
Click here for some inspiration!
A walk around our garden and fields with secateurs and gloves to collect plants suitable for weaving projects. We will use the flatweave method to make a small basket or decorative item. Projects will be guided by suitability of materials found and you will learn how and why to allocate different plants for different purposes.
FURTHER INFORMATION
This workshop will proceed OUTSIDE regardless of weather conditions so please dress according to the weather and wear wellies or sturdy walking boots as we will be walking through uneven muddy fields. Bring dry shoes to change into.
If it is raining we will collect materials and then return to the workshop to make things out of them. If not raining we will make things as we go along, so you may need to wrap up warm.
The hedges contain prickly plants so please bring sturdy gardening gloves and sharp secateurs.
If you wish to pick blackberries as we go along please bring your own bag/box.
Tea, coffee and cold drinks will be supplied with a selection of biscuits and cake.
The course will start at 9.30am but if you would like a drink first you are welcome to arrive from 9am.
Experience level: beginner.
Please note that this can be quite physical work on your hands.
