Introduction to Willow Weaving Workshop - Round Bird Feeder

Join Rachel Kirk at Branklyn Garden for an introduction to willow weaving workshop

In this 3-hour workshop, you will learn how to weave a round bird feeder with step-by-step instructions. This workshop is the perfect introduction to basketry techniques for beginners and will be led by Rachel Kirk of Rachel's Willow Designs, a basketmaker and willow sculptor based in Abernethy. During the workshop you will learn how to weave a chasing wale and how to create two trac borders.

This attractive fatball bird feeder will entice the local birdlife to visit. It can be placed in a tree or against a window so that the birds can be seen easily from the house.

All materials and tools are included, and refreshments will be provided.

This workshop may not be suitable for those with hand/joint mobility issues. Parts of this workshop are easier to do while standing.

Following the workshop why not have a wander around the garden, enjoy a light lunch in our tearoom or partake in a spot of retail therapy in our plant and gift shop.

Please note that the workshop will be held inside Branklyn House, there are six steps to negotiate to access the interior of the house.
