Cressing Temple Barns: Willow workshop garden decorations

Make bulrushes and dragonflies for your garden with expert Jo Hammond.

These lovely willow pieces are quick to make and so effective displayed in a flower bed. Each design introduces different basketry skills: for instance, there’s twisting and wrapping, and corn dolly weave, all demonstrated in easy stages, step by step.
In a day, you can expect to make at least three bulrushes and two dragonflies – enough for an eye-catching group in your garden. 

Note- willow weaving is moderately hard work and does require a firm grip

Tea/coffee and biscuits will be provided. Please either bring a packed lunch or visit the onsite Tiptree Tearoom.

The ticket price includes all materials and any necessary tools will be provided.

This workshop is only suitable for over 18s.
