My name is Joe Gregory, I'm a full time willow sculptor based in Todmorden West Yorkshire. I've been weaving for 14 years, initially self taught and this has led me to develop a series of popular & achievable full day and 2 day weaving courses in sculpture and basketry. I teach from my large Georgian workshop in the centre of town just 2 minutes walk from the train station.
I also host other workshops from highly skilled craft professionals teaching in the north west.
My friends and I really enjoyed our day. Joe is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all things willow and we loved her enthusiasm. We came away at the end of the day feeling very proud of our pea climbers and dragonflies.
Response from Creative with Nature:
Thank you Sarah!! Really glad you all had a good day: ) Joe. xxxHad a lovely day. I made 2 very different pea climbers which will look great in our garden, my dragonfly was actually a bee!!
Could not have been as successful without Jo's expert help, who was happy to help many times when problems arose. She was enthusiastic about the craft and has a lot of knowledge about willow and its uses, explaining how they are growing their own willow trees.

Thank you Marylin! That was a particularly nice day for weaving: ) Really glad you enjoyed it. Joe. xxReally enjoyed the day as well as the chicken that I made. Joe did an amazing job of teaching the rest of the group how to weave the herons, ducks and pheasants. I had a lovely time and was just over all really impressed with the quality of work and teaching. Will be booking another course soon.
