Women’s Weeds Activity Day with willow
On Sunday you are invited to find out about using native plants as spring tonics, and take part in a willow workshop to male garden structures, run by Ruth Thompson of Sylvan Skills.
Women’s Weeds Day
At this working day we will be planting a wold meadow area, clearing a garden patch ready for our physic garden and learning more about local native plants.
We will also be cutting back the willow that we have at the Women’s Workshop site ready to use at future sessions.
Create for the Lindisfarne Nature Trail – willow weaving workshops
Local willow sculptor Anna Turnbull and the Northumbria Basketry Group will be running willow weaving workshops once a month for the first half of 2017. A series of up to 12 larger-than-life willow sculptures will be produced to adorn points along the Lindisfarne Nature Trail – find out more about this creative arts project here.
The first willow workshop will take place at 1pm – 5pm on Saturday 21st at the Holy Island Village Hall. Anna is looking for a small group of volunteers to help weave these unique sculptures. No problem if you’ve not done this before – tuition, guidance and all materials will be provided. In tandem with the creation of the sculptures, the Northumbria Basketry Group will be running an introduction to simple basketry techniques – so you can have a go at both! If you can’t make the first, the second workshop will take place on Saturday 25th of February at Hunting Hall Farm (times TBC).
