Weave Your Own Willow Spring Swallow & Bird Feeder

  • Devour at the Dyehouse Luke Lane Thongsbridge Holmfirth, HD9 7TB (map)

Add a touch of handmade magic to spring

with this full-day sculpture workshop, led by renowned basket maker and artist Joe Gregory.

For over 15 years, Joe has been teaching this beloved Craft all made with English willow.

Spend a relaxing, creative day learning to weave with beautiful natural willow as you craft your very own elegant swallow sculpture. Perfect for beginners and those with some weaving experience, this hands-on workshop guides you through the techniques needed to shape and finish this iconic bird.

Midday, enjoy a delicious fine Italian lunch, giving you time to unwind, chat, and soak up the atmosphere before the afternoon session.

After lunch, you’ll continue your weaving journey by creating a useful and beautiful bird feeder—a perfect addition to any garden and a lovely way to support local wildlife.

All tools and materials are provided, and you’ll head home with two completed pieces, new skills, and plenty of inspiration for future weaving projects.
