Hello, I am a willow sculptor / artist based near Southampton in Hampshire.

I teach in a variety of venues in and around Hampshire, as well as exhibiting my work at various art shows.

FAQs

It is often best to start with an activity that offers a variety of small items or a larger shape that is relatively straightforward such as a bird workshop 
You are welcome to join us for a more detailed workshop but please be aware that you may not make such a detailed version as someone who has more experience

If you are someone who prefers working on small precise works I  suggest starting with the workshops where we create several smaller items e.g Xmas crafts, garden items, small birdhouses, baskets, etc. For those of you who like to experiment and see what happens, you might prefer something more sculptural to be fair there is no one way and you never know until you try  it will be fun  which ever you decide to do.

I usually find that making a small item can be difficult for anyone who has problems with grip,/ fine motor skills /  small movements, if your not sure please contact me  

We often use our thighs to hold items so if this a problem for you please let me know. also working on large items can be quite tiring as it can be quite physical.

If you are not sure  please feel free to contact me and we can chat through the options that might work for you before you book a place
