Weave your own chicken with Judith Needham 

This year why not make your very own Easter chicken?

Picture
Using sustainably grown Somerset willow, spend a fun and creative day weaving a lifelike chicken sculpture to enhance your garden or perhaps to make a really special gift.

Mainly using a random weave, this is a workshop where, once you’ve learnt the basics, you don’t have to concentrate too hard and you can chat as you weave! There are, however, some interesting techniques to learn for the details of legs, comb and tail feathers – all borrowed from traditional basket making.

There is plenty of room for creativity and you don’t even need to stick to chickens. Any bird of a similar size is possible – whether real or the product of your imagination. You bring the ideas and Judith will help you turn them into sculpture!

This is a whole day workshop which is suitable for beginners and those who have worked with willow before
