Botanical & Willow Workshop

We are excited to bring you further, mindful and creative botanical workshops with a twist! Combining natural materials such as Willow and Hazel with carefully selected plants to produce beautiful art pieces for you to enjoy or gift to others!

Working together, Lorraine and Renée will bring you two choices of workshops. Spend the day and make two botanical art pieces or create one in either a morning or afternoon the workshop, the choice is yours.

Willow Cone Planter

Using a selection of Willow you will weave a cone using a table top jig. Once complete, you can either create a handle for hanging or secure a wooden pole to allow you to push the finished cone into the ground so it is freestanding. The cone is then planted up with a selection of succulents as shown in the pictures below.

Botanical Dreams

Join us in combining two activities into one! Firstly, you will make a wreath base from a selection of Willow coppiced here alongside the lakes at the Priory Farm Estate. Using garden twine you will learn how to weave a web within your wreath to create the beginnings of a dream catcher!

You will be shown how by adding a selection of small succulents you can transform your dream catcher into a beautiful hanging botanical decoration that can brighten up any wall, inside or out! You can either make two small or one larger Botanical Dreams wreath.
