Get crafty and create your very own Christmas decorations using natural materials
About this Event

In this morning workshop, you'll get hands-on and create unique festive decorations like Christmas trees, stars or reindeer. Using a traditional Scandinavian design, they can be strung together to great effect. Alternatively, you can ‘mount’ your creations in willow ‘pots’ for really unusual Christmas ornaments that will last for years.

Materials and festive refreshments are included.

About Lucy from STAA

Lucy is a long-term staff member, often found supporting volunteers and welcoming groups. She is the lead for all aspects of horticulture, nature and volunteering.

She is experienced in delivering all kinds of training, and particularly enthusiastic about gardening and nature.

Alongside the day job, Lucy has been weaving willow for over a decade and loves the combination of traditional crafts with gardening and wildlife, especially using natural materials. Lucy will readily digress into side-crafts you can make with offcuts. Whilst Lucy has certainly constructed a basket or 2, she finds the joy of creating plant supports and ornamental structures the most satisfying, and aims to help you find your own style!

About the Community Orchard

This workshop will be run from the garden next to our Strawbale Building on the Community Orchard. This unique building is hand-built from bales of straw and weatherproofed with clay sourced on site.
