About this event
Justine Holdsworth is a practicing willow weaver,
basket maker, and willow grower, who runs regular
workshops at The Workshop in Whitley Bay.
On this visit to this breathtaking venue she will demonstrate and support you through this fun half day workshop. You will be using sustainable, locally sourced willow grown and harvested from a plot in the stunning Northumberland National Park. She will impart information on the varieties of willow used, the process of soaking and the different traditional weaves you will be using. You will take home a unique handmade willow obelisk to put in your garden or place in a pot, where you can watch your favourite climbers grow through it. Justine’s fave is a blousy clematis any day.

What to Bring: Weather appropriate clothing, layers can be helpful. Bottle of water or drink, snacks (optional), any personal medication needed, sun lotion, camera, notebook and pen.
