What is Willow Sculpture?
Willow is a truly wonderful, natural material to use creatively. It is very versatile and can be used to create many beautiful things from baskets and decorative craft to sculpture. As a medium to create sculpture, my self-taught techniques have been developed over many years. They do not follow a prescribed set of rules, they use a combination of free weaving, sewing and binding skills to build and sculpt layers of willow creating the density and form of any desired shape.

TESTIMONIALS
“Fantastic day with Sara and Hanna yesterday with lovely people all learning about this craft. Our group were amazed by what we were able to do with zero knowledge of this superb material, as we wove our way towards our finished sculptures. But it was the gentle praise, encouragement and guidance from Sara and Hanna that was the magic key to the success of our day. Take up this craft! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you guys for a most worthwhile day”
