Britain's What's On Event Guide
Create your own Willow Dragonfly at Attenborough Nature Reserve
Discover the art of willow weaving at Attenborough Nature Reserve with our willow dragonfly workshop.
About the event
This workshop provides a perfect opportunity to learn and develop willow weaving skills. You will create your own willow dragonfly and will be supported through the step-by-step process in a small group setting. The course is suitable for complete beginners and veterans alike, ideal for anyone with a desire to learn a new craft or a gift for an artsy person in your life!
Katrine Scott-Mitchell from The Willow Loft is a local maker who works with willow to create sculptures, decorative and practical items for the home and garden. Katrine has been working with willow for six years and regularly runs workshops to share her love of ‘twisting sticks’! The biggest sculpture she has made is a life-sized stag and the most practical item is a basket that she uses every day to carry her tools.
The workshop is based in the Community Room with beautiful views across the water and includes cake and refreshments. Our cakes and sweet treats are supplied by two independent, local businesses – Beeston Brownies and Homemade Café. With at least 48-hours' notice, we can cater for most dietary and allergy needs. Please email engagement@nottswt.co.uk if you have any questions or to inform us of any specific requirements/requests.
