Weave some magic at RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes nature reserve
For people looking to try something different this summer, RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes is hosting a willow weaving workshop on their lakeside reserve.
This workshop, run by RSPB volunteer Alan Morris, is the perfect introduction to the addictive craft of willow weaving. At the reserve, willow is cut routinely during the winter and Alan decided to see if some of the more flexible varieties could be processed and used for weaving. Over the years Alan gained enough knowledge and experience to experiment and found that a variety of items could be successfully created. At the workshop, Alan will help attendees create their own unique garden obelisk which can be taken home at the end of the day!
The workshop will run from 10 am - 4 pm and costs £25 (RSPB members £20). Booking is essential - please call 01954 233260 to book your place!
