Willow Weaving Workshop: Make Your Own Plant Support - Rye Harbour (26/04/25) Saturday, 26th April 2025 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Tutor: Julie Gurr

Join us and learn how to craft your own woven plant supports on this one-day workshop at Rye Harbour Discovery Centre. Experienced willow weaver Julie Gurr will teach you how to weave one small and one large plant support using sustainably sourced, locally grown willow - ideal for growing sweet peas, beans or other climbing plants. You'll be able to take your pieces away with you at the end of the day, so please ensure you have space to transport them.

Julie Gurr has more than 20 years of experience as a basket weaver and is inspired by basketry techniques from different cultures, as well as the natural environment and the materials it provides. Julie is based in East Sussex and grows the willow she uses near her home in Iden, see her website and her Instagram page.

Included in the price: Materials will be provided, as well as tools to use on the day. There will be a light vegetarian lunch and refreshments - please tell us on booking if you have any special dietary needs.

Location: Meet at Rye Harbour Discovery Centre, Rye Harbour, TN31 7FW

Booking essential: Please click here to read our Course and Event booking and cancellation Terms & Conditions.

Accessibility: Please be aware that some manual strength is needed to weave the willow. Rye Harbour Discovery Centre is a wheelchair friendly venue, with a step-free entrance ramp. Our toilet facilities include two that are wheelchair accessible.
