Cressing Temple Barns: Make a willow pig sculpture
One day willow weaving pig sculpture course with Jo Hammond
Join experienced tutor Jo Hammond for this workshop at Cressing Temple Barns.
Learn step-by-step how to create a pig sculpture for your house or garden.
Weave natural brown willow into sculptural forms starting with a firm framework, followed by a covering of sinuous ‘freeweave’.
Then your piece takes shape by adding legs and a head, with ears and tail as the finishing touches.
