Bees made at Exbury Gardens

Description

Bees are such interesting creatures; create a great statement piece and unusual sculpture for your home or garden; you can create a honey bee or bumblebee or any bee of your choice. As we all work at different speeds, I aim to get you to the stage where you have created a sculpture that is recognizable and that you feel confident to carry on at home should you wish to do so. Please note that the bees are likely to be smaller than the images shown here Please note that if you have a condition that affects your strength or mobility in your wrist/hands, this activity may cause difficulties for you. Workshops need to be booked a week in advance to allow me to soak and prepare the willow, after this date please get in touch with me before booking a place

Margaret reviewed: Create a willow obelisk/plant support, birdfeeder and dragonfly/butterfly for your garden (Chandlers Ford, Nr Winchester- Hampshire)

"This was my birthday treat, creating bird feeder to learn techniques, then scaling up to create a garden obelisk in the afternoon. Jackie shared her knowledge of different willows and techniques - fascinating to see the different interpretations of the same tuition. The day was rounded off by creating 'dragonfly' shapes using similar techniques to making corn dollies. Feel quite satisfied today as I remembered how to make them and made two more 'dragonflies'. Thoroughly enjoyed the day doing something completely different."

Willow and Crafts responded:

"Hello Margaret, thankyou for the lovely review , I am glad that you were able to remember how to make the dragonflys it was a pleasure to meet you All the best Jacquie "
