Dragonfly Willow Weaving Workshop

Join us for a calming and creative workshop where you’ll learn the art of willow weaving and create your very own dragonfly sculpture to take home.

In this relaxed, hands-on session, Zsofi from Mindful Makers, will guide you through the basic techniques of working with natural willow – a beautiful, sustainable material – while we chat, craft, and connect with the season.

This workshop is suitable for all levels, including complete beginners, and all materials and tools will be provided. You’ll leave with a charming handmade dragonfly – perfect for your garden, balcony, or as a unique gift – and hopefully a feeling of calm and creative accomplishment.

Each workshop is carefully curated to create a calming space for creativity, reflection, and joy – no experience needed, just a love for making and a curiosity for the natural world. These workshops are for adult 18+.

Time: 1.30 - 3.30 pm

Cost: £35 plus regular centre admission fee, which is free for WWT Members
