( you can follow the procedure to make a smaller table top version if you prefer) We will then go on to make small Christmas trees suitable for hanging from the Christmas tree or standing in plant pots, small stars or small wreaths and reindeer. You could be make all of these items over the day , but that is determined by how you choose to allocate your time.

Refreshments are provided to keep your energy up during the day, with chocolate always being a must. There will be some form of drink available in the room, even if that is just a jug of water. This is a café venue that serves a range of hot and cold drinks and menu of mid day meals, which are available for purchasing at any time during the day.
Generally speaking you do not need a lot of physical strength to weave with willow, but some making activities have more tension than others. This activity does not put a great strain on the hands. However, if you have particular medical conditions that affect the hands and wrists such as arthritis, you will find this more difficult than most people. It depends on the severity of your condition. I have had many people weaving who have reported that they suffer with this. Some completed the weaving without a problem, some have had me help out at certain points (which I am very willing to do) and one or two have stopped midway as it has become too uncomfortable to continue.
You might have some suitable material growing in your garden that you might want to incorporate into your weaving (such as some slender Cornus or suitable vines). Feel free to bring small amounts of something like this along, but be prepared to take advice on what may or not be suitable.
All the tools you will need to complete the obelisk will be provided, but if you have your own tools that you use on projects to like these, feel free to bring them along, e.g. secateurs or bodkins.
Justice walk car park is only around 100 yards from the venue and the best parking spot to put into your SatNav.
