Join me at the beautiful RHS Garden Bridgewater for a relaxed and creative half-day workshop learning how to weave your very own willow bird feeder. I've been Bridgewater's Willow teacher since they opened 6 years ago and I'm delighted to teach here again for 2027.

This workshop is a perfect introduction to the wonderful world of willow weaving. I'll guide you step by step through the process of creating a traditional woven bird feeder, introducing you to some of the basic techniques along the way.

No previous weaving experience is necessary, making this a lovely opportunity to try something new, enjoy a little creative time and make something useful and beautiful for your garden.

We'll be working in the classroom of the main award winning eco building in the wonderful surroundings of RHS Garden Bridgewater, your workshop booking also includes admission to the gardens, so why not make a day of it? Explore the gardens, enjoy the seasonal planting and perhaps treat yourself to something delicious in the café.

RHS members also receive a discounted workshop rate.
