For taller plants like sweet peas, you can make a willow obelisk and for very small plants, or as a form of plant protection, you can make a miniature willow dome. Willow is a very versatile weaving material from which you can create decorative and useful items such as plant supports, garden sculptures, ‘live’ fences, firewood baskets and shopping baskets. You will learn all about the various types of willow you can weave with and the differences between living willow and dried willow. As well as becoming familiar with traditional tools such as the bodkin and rapping iron.
