Courses
A chance for you to come along and learn some
willow skills
or even how to make a basket.
Carol will be running the following
courses during 2010:
Willow plant
supports
Sunday 18th April 2010
Upton Cross, Near Liskeard
10am to 4.30pm £35 per person, includes materials
These wigwams can fit
nicely into large pots or add height to your borders during
the summer months. Ideally suited for growing annual climbers
such as sweet peas, they can be made in a variety of heights
and sizes. During a one day course students will usually be
able to make two plant supports. |
| Frame
Baskets
Saturday 8th OR Sunday 9th May 2010
Upton Cross, Near Liskeard
10am to 4.30pm 10am to 4.30pm £40 per person, includes
materials
Frame baskets are made on hoops
which are tied together with fine willow. Ribs are then inserted
into the basket and willow is woven across this framework.
These are good baskets to make if you grow your own willow
as both thick and thin willow is needed.

Willow
Edging Hurdles
Saturday 15th May 2010
Upton Cross, Near Liskeard
10am to 4.30pm £45 per person, includes materials
The
hurdles we will be making on this course are designed to be
used as edging around borders and vegetable plots. Their construction
is based on the traditional sheep hurdle but these will be
scaled down to measure approximately 3 feet wide by 10 inches
high.
