We’re excited to be launching ‘Made Outside’ a new series of creative workshops for women in the GroWild woodland. These sessions are practical, hands-on workshops focused on traditional skills, natural materials and outdoor making, including botanical printing, indigo dyeing and willow weaving.

The Woven Willow Workshop
Natural willow, traditional basketry techniques and outdoor making in the GroWild woodland.

Spend a morning learning how to weave your own garden bird feeder using natural willow and traditional basketry techniques.

Set within the woodland, this is a hands-on workshop with most of the morning spent weaving, shaping and making. You’ll learn how to work with willow, exploring how to bend, secure and build the structure as your bird feeder begins to take form.

Working alongside a small group of women, you’ll be guided through the process by The Coddiwomplers, experienced traditional crafts practitioners specialising in willow weaving, green woodworking and heritage woodland skills. They’ll introduce the materials, tools and techniques before supporting you through each stage of the workshop.

Time: 9.45am–1pm
