Two willow obelisks.

About

Get ready for spring and create a beautiful willow obelisk.

These natural supports look attractive in the garden, allotment or in a pot, and are perfect for supporting annual climbers like sweet peas or beans. During this relaxed workshop, you will learn willow-weaving techniques, whilst making a sustainable obelisk which will last for many years to come.

Early booking is advised due to the small group size of this workshop. This allows for 1:1 guidance with our award-winning expert weaver, who has worked with willow for more than 15 years.

No prior experience is necessary, but you will need good hand strength and dexterity to use the thicker willow used in plant supports, as well as the ability to stand for a few hours. If you have any access concerns/queries, please contact us about your specific requirements.

All materials and tools are provided. Tea/coffee and biscuits are included in the price of the workshop.
