Weaving in the Woods Workshop

Fun in the Sun
Had a great day at the ‘Cranbrook Goes Nuts in May’ event this May bank holiday. Taught some brave students a ‘fitching’ weave, using bundles of brown willow around a hazel frame to create these hard-wearing, strong plant supports, which should last for years despite their rustic appearance!
A couple more willow workshops in the pipeline for August… watch this space…
Students hard at work
Next… the Floral Fringe Fair
Gathering stock ready for the next fair which is at Knepp Castle, West Sussex, on June 3rd and 4th. Looks like its going to be a fun, relaxed and quirky event with a vintage/festival vibe, and plenty to see, do and buy. I’m looking forward to this one… hopefully camping in the sunshine too! See you there! Check out their website: Floral Fringe Fair Website
Community Arts Festival
From 19th – 28th August there will be an exciting programme of arts events held in and around Rushlake Green in East Sussex. Check the link to the website:
I will be demonstrating basketmaking at the ‘Craft in the Making’ event at the village hall in Bodle Street Green (BN27 4UB), 11am-4pm on Saturday 20th August.
