Willow Reindeer

Unleash your creative side and make your own Christmas centre piece with Amanda. Learn how to make a willow reindeer using locally sourced Somerset willow.

The workshop is suitable for beginners with no experience of willow weaving or those who have already tried it. Amanda will guide you through the process of creating your sculpture step by step and give you options so that you can customise your sculpture.

All materials will be provided, however willow weaving is messy activity so please wear old comfortable clothing or an apron.

About the workshop leader:
Amanda Webb fell in love with willow after attending a Christmas willow weaving workshop as a student. It has been her material of choice ever since.

The willow she uses is grown on the Somerset Levels within a mile of her house, making it a local and sustainable material. However, being a full-time teacher, weaving was just a hobby as Amanda never had the time to fully commit to her art. That all changed in 2022, when after 33 years of teaching she retired and started Amanda Webb Makes, creating and selling her sculptures along with sharing her passion through teaching.
