EXPLORERS WILLOW WEAVING

GETTING STARTED Firstly we drew our

designs in our book.

“we had lots of ideas”Shyann

Before we could start we had to strip the leaves off the willow branches.

MAKING OUR DESIGNSWe chose long, flexible pieces of willow and wrapped them together.

“It was pretty tricky”Bryony

Some of us used stronger pieces and stuck these in the ground to support our weaving.

‘’ It was great to learn a new skill’’Lucas

Weaving was harder than we had first thought. It took a lot of time and skill and we found it difficult to make some of the things that we had designed. “We realised how clever weavers are.” Naomi
