Willow Swallow Workshop

Work with experienced willow weaver Justine Holdsworth to make your own intricately woven swift. Using locally grown sustainable willow.

In this workshop you will hand craft two to three beautiful willow swallows to celebrate the most eagerly awaited returning migrant birds. You will weave with local, sustainable Northumbrian willow and learn traditional techniques. Justine will share her knowledge of this amazing versatile natural material and the soaking process of preparing willow for projects.
