Description

On this half day workshop we will be using local organically grown willow to make lanterns which can be hung inside or out. They are very versatile and work equally well as fat ball feeders for the birds. They also look lovely decorated with foliage for Christmas, and can be filled with pine cones, or Christmas baubles. Everyone will be able to complete one in a session, and most people will be able to make two. This workshop is suitable for all, including complete beginners. Numbers are limited to just 4 participants so that you receive lots of individual attention. The cost is £50 per person. This does not include materials which are charged at £3 per lantern / feeder. Please bring cash for this on the day. Bed and breakfast at the cottage is now available.

What's included in the price?

All tuition and light refreshments (tea, coffee, biscuits etc.) are included but if you have favourite teas or snacks etc, then please feel free to bring them with you. Materials are not included. Expect to pay £3 per lantern / fat ball feeder in materials costs. Most people will make 2 in a session. Please bring cash for this on the day.
