Willow Weaving

G and I like to go on an 'experience' day where we try a new craft as our xmas present to each other and today's experience was willow weaving. There were 10 of us on the course, the day lasted from 10 till 5 with lunch included and we made a garden sculpture of a goose (yes, honest, that's what it's meant to be).  This is mine drunkenly leaning against my chair - in the garden the legs will be stuck into the soil and keep it upright. It's always fun to try a new craft, although I have to admit that this one wasn't a natural fit for me as there's no template to follow, you just see what the tutor does and try to replicate it!  I'll also admit to being completely shattered now as it's quite hard work. It's also nice to meet new people from different backgrounds and interesting to see how some people take to the craft much better than others, despite us all seeing the same demonstration. It was also lovely to sit outside all day trying a craft for a change.
