Workshops
Willow sculpture workshops are wonderful for all ages and give you something beautiful to keep that will last for years. You can create an abstract sculpture, willow animal, garden ornament or wreath, with guidance from your tutor Zoe. No experience is necessary, just come along and enjoy a creative day.
In 2024 willow sculpture workshops are taking place at Westonbirt Arboretum and Stroud Brewery. Below you can also find out about school workshops, team building workshops and private workshops.
“What a fabulous day! Clear demonstrations with supportively encouraging and enthusiastic input to each of us individually throughout the day. I’ll do this again and would highly recommend it.”
School workshops
Willow sculpture workshops are perfect for your school’s art week, summer school or as a forest school activity. Permanent willow installations built in collaboration with students can also make a meaningful and eye-catching addition to your school grounds or entranceway. Students learn techniques used to create sculptures from willow including the making of a metal base structure for larger works. Willow sculpting develops students’ fine motor, team- building and communication skills.
