Brushes with Debbie Meziane-Joynson

07/12/25

10 .30am - 4.00pm

£70 (Includes all materials and tea and coffee)

Age group – Adults

Location: Education Room

Join Debbie Meziane-Joynson, known as Wispy Willow Creations, who is a professional willow sculptor, basket, broom and brush maker to create some beautiful and functional natural fibre brushes.

In this workshop you will learn how to make at least two different brushes using either arenga, tampico or broomcorn fibres. You will be shown how to tie different styles of brush, such as the turkey wing and hawk tail designs and will be able to use different colours of nylon cord for the bindings.

Note: Brush making is quite physical, so you will need a degree of dexterity in your hands and feet, as well as good grip strength. (You will be holding the binding cord, not only with your hands but also beneath your feet on a foot break - a wooden stick)

You might like to bring some warm socks to wear as its preferable to be working with our shoes off to hold the foot break.

Includes all materials and tools.

Ymunwch â Debbie Meziane-Joynson, a elwir yn Wispy Willow Creations, sy'n gerflunydd helyg proffesiynol, yn wneuthurwr basgedi, ysgubellau a brwsys i greu rhai brwsys ffibr naturiol hardd a swyddogaethol.

Yn y gweithdy hwn byddwch yn dysgu sut i wneud o leiaf ddau frwsh gwahanol gan ddefnyddio ffibrau arenga, tampico neu ysgubell. Byddwch yn cael eich dangos sut i glymu gwahanol arddulliau o frwsh, fel dyluniadau adain twrci a chynffon hebog a byddwch yn gallu defnyddio gwahanol liwiau o gortyn neilon ar gyfer y rhwymiadau.

Nodyn: Mae gwneud brwsys yn eithaf corfforol, felly bydd angen rhywfaint o ddeheurwydd yn eich dwylo a'ch traed, yn ogystal â chryfder gafael da. (Byddwch yn dal y cordyn rhwymo, nid yn unig gyda'ch dwylo ond hefyd o dan eich traed ar droedbren - ffon bren)

Efallai yr hoffech ddod â rhai sanau cynnes i'w gwisgo gan ei bod yn well gweithio gyda'n hesgidiau i ffwrdd i ddal y droedbren.

Yn cynnwys yr holl ddeunyddiau ac offer.
