JOIN US FOR A FUN-FILLED DAY OF WILLOW WEAVING

There is something about working with Willow that is very relaxing and mindful as you have to concentrate on the task in hand.

In this full-day or half-day workshop, set in the picturesque location of Sussex Prairies you will spend time with Lorraine and learn how to weave a Dragonfly and/or Dream Catcher.

All we need is a selection of Willow Withies for weaving a pair of sharp secateurs and the desire to learn something new!

Access to the breathtaking Prairie Gardens is included in your ticket and refreshments and delicious cakes can be purchased from the Tea Rooms.

DRAGONFLY OR MAYFLY!

To make your Dragonfly (or Mayfly) you will be using pre-soaked Willow, either brown Willow (this Willow has been dried before then soaking to rehydrate, we have various types and colours) or buff the (also dried before rehydrating but the bark has been removed, this reveals a honey colour rod).

“Deep in the sun-searched growths, the dragon-fly hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky. So this winged hour is dropt to us from above. Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower. This close-companioned inarticulate hour. When twofold silence was the song of love.” – Dante Gabriel Rossetti
