SUMMARY:Weave a willow owl sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Join willow sculptor Sarah Jayne Edwards to create the most hoot-tastic willow owl who’s sure to take pride of place in your garden this spring. We reckon your sculpted owl would look just dandy up in a tree within the garden or equally resplendent perched atop a post or pergola. In today’s session\, we’ll kick-off with an introduction to your materials; discovering the potential of willow\, how to source it\, how to prepare it\, the different types and what works best for different projects.
