Juliette Hamilton Hare Weaving Workshop

EXPIRED 9 December 10.30am – 4.00pm £85 includes materials, tea and coffee

FULLY BOOKED. Book via Eventbrite here

Join willow sculptor Juliette Hamilton in this one-day hare making workshop. During this workshop Juliette will take you through the method and process of turning willow into a 3D hare, perfect for winter decorations. You will learn the basics of constructing an animal shape and then, using your own weaving methods, begin to fill in the shape.

Juliette’s willow sculptures are mainly of animal forms, made from different varieties and colours of dried willow which is soaked in water making it pliable. The flowing organic shapes of animals and the surprising process of intensely investigation a new subject are what interest her. Her weaving suggests movement, weight and muscle tone and results in something beautiful and life-like but with character. Each piece is unique and evolves which makes the whole process exciting and fresh.
