About the event
Weaving with willow is an ancient craft. It has long been recognised as a sturdy, hardwearing and beautiful material with which to work.

This is a beginners course, but you will need some dexterity to finish this project. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact adult.learning@surreywt.org.uk before you book.
