Event description
Learn new skills as you make different willow sculptures in this hands-on creative session with Ruth from Sylvan Skills.
Starting with the basic shapes of stars, fish and rings you can experiment with adapting these designs in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.
You can take your creations home or add them to our new willow dome, making a living contribution to Mowbray Park Community Garden.
