Willow Workshop

Willow work shop was such an interesting workshop to do as I have never done anything like this before and it really interested me. Although I do not feel I would be confident enough to take it into Radipole School and teach it to a class. It was such a good experience and maybe in other projects I will incorrect it.

 The willow needs to be soaked in a bath at leased over night to be wet enough to shape.

To succour the willow in place use masking tape.

 You need to get the shape you want with the willow easing it round with you thumb. No sudden bends as it will snap. Willow does not like straight lines.

To cover willow you need to put cling film over the top of it to make the shape stronger.

Once covered in cling film you can the cover with whet strength tissue paper
