Join us in the Walled Garden for a fun, relaxed, willow weaving workshop and create your own Reindeer or Stag’s head to add a rustic touch of seasonal charm to your home or garden... just in time for Christmas! 🌲🎅🦌
The workshop is on
Saturday, 30 th November 10am - 3.30pm
You will spend the day with experienced local willow artist, Heather McDermott, and her assistant Naomi, who will guide you through the various traditional willow weaves, and practical processes involved using homegrown, sustainable, willow from our Saillie garden
Decorate your reindeer with LED lights tinsel, baubles or use natural elements like ivy and berries for a more natural look. You can then restyle your stag's head for all-year-round use! Remember a stag's head is not just for Christmas!! 😂🦌
