About the event

Using only twigs, Lisa will show you how to weave these into a basic tension tray, useful for drying herbs or flowers and grasses, or serving tea and biscuits in the garden.

This is a part of our monthly Natural Craft workshops; each month a different craft to give you the opportunity to take part in some mindful creativity. Lisa from 'Growing Bright' will encourage you to slow down and gain inspiration from nature whilst making something beautiful to take home. Enjoy a relaxing couple of hours and bring out your inner artist.

These workshops are for beginners and anyone looking to slow down.

  • The session lasts 2hrs and may involve some gentle walking around to gather natural materials but this can be adapted to support accessibility.
