Willow pea climbers and cloche course with Joe Gregory

Description

Learn to weave on this popular Willow Pea Climber/Willow for the garden course. These fill up every year and give the gardener excellent, sturdy and sustainable plant supports for your gardens or allotments. There is enough time over the course of the day to make at least 2 pea climbers and a couple of dragonflies to sit on top or a pea climber and a cloche to support your perennial plants as they grow. A cloche will look great in the soil and then gradually disappear as the plants grow through them offering support to keep them upright. Suitable for beginners and those with some weaving experience and a lovely way to spend a day. Come alone and meet other crafty folk or come with a friend or two for a special day together. The willows tea and coffee house will be open during the course offering the finest rainforest alliance coffees and ethical teas, award-winning cakes and simple savouries.

Hi my name is Joe Gregory, I'm a willow basket maker and sculptor based in West Yorkshire. I started weaving as a hobby in 2004 and by 2008, I realised I could make a living doing a craft that I loved. Starting from my kitchen table to now owning a 5 storey Georgian building in the centre of Todmorden; weaving with Willow has provided me with the most rewarding career whilst enabling me to keep my family safe and healthy. I teach sculpture and basket making for everyone from beginners to more advanced weavers. I have also been lucky enough to teach internationally, as well as up and down the country. I've worked on some amazing projects over the years and feel very lucky to have found this beautiful craft. I am comfortable teaching children; beginners and more advanced weavers. Each class rewards me in different ways. I have been fortunate to teach those with different needs; from sight problems, to people returning from a stroke, to those with their own special needs. I am always happy to craft my class to suit everyone I teach.
