WILLOW SWIFTS / SWALLOWS - SATURDAY 09:30-12:30 - 13th JUNE
COURSE DETAILS AND AIMS:
We will use willow as a material to make a representation of a flying swift/swallow that you can display as wall art or hang in your garden.
SKILLS OR QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED:
No qualifications are required, however you do need reasonable dexterity and good strength in your hands in order to be able to manipulate the willow. Please let me know if you are hard of hearing, so I can ensure you hear everything you need to fully participate in the course.
MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR FIRST CLASS:
All materials and equipment will be supplied.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
Willow is a natural material and has been stored in a garage and soaked in an outdoor tank. Please wear older clothes (eg gardening clothes) to the course or bring an apron. Solid shoes please (no sandals). Wash hands before eating after handling the willow.
