Sculptor Jess Wilkinson will guide you through this intensive day of willow weaving to create a beautiful festive stag’s head for your home or garden.
You’ll learn techniques and tips to help you work with willow, including how to source the right kind of willow for sculpture, what tools you will need and how to approach the work bit by bit and weave a solid structure.
