Join Judith for a full day of Christmas willow weaving! You will start by creating a large star (up to 50cm across), decorated with random weaving and fairy lights, perfect for the top of your tree, hanging on your front door, or displaying on a wall year-round.
Afterwards, you can move on to smaller stars, miniature trees, angels, simple wreaths, and even tiny reindeer. You can choose what to make and create as many items as time allows. Prefer making multiple large stars instead of smaller decorations? That’s fine too!
All tools and materials will be provided. Bring only your ideas and creativity!
