Demonstrations and Talks
Let me explain to children the processes I go through in making a piece a work from ideas to drawings and models before the full scale piece is created.
Workshop Activities
Explore the techniques of making by creating individual pieces made from willow
Designing and making
Once the basic techniques are grasped, design, make and evaluate a willow creation.
Teacher CPD
INSET days or staff meeting sessions for staff to learn willow techniques and applications, which can then be used in a range of curriculum areas, making good use of possible onsite resources.
(see "Teaching Teachers" tab for more details)
