In this introductory willow sculpture class, we will create a charming willow bunny (there will also be a bird option) that can be used to decorate your garden. These organic sculptures bring whimsy and intrigue into a garden space; and mean all the more as they are created by you. In this class you will learn how to create a random weave, 3D form using willow. This is a beginner friendly project and no previous weaving experience is required.
Students are asked to bring their own lunch.
A note about kit fees: Special varieties of weaving willows are planted, cultivated, harvested, dried for 3 months, soaked for approx. 5 days, and tempered for another day or two. The process of preparing willow for weaving is laborious but we're sure you will find it is worth it!
