More dates to follow....

Please note:

 Courses are not suitable for under 16s.

Willow bark can course allergic reactions in people if ingested who are sensitive to aspirin and may also interact with certain medications including blood thinners, beta blockers and acetaminophen (Tylenol).  Participants are advised to wash hands before eating food.

Clients are welcome to bring their own secateurs and will be responsible for their use.

To look after your willow sculpture if kept outside treat every six months with a suitable wood preservative, this will help it to last several years. It is advisable to keep covered in harsh winter conditions. If kept indoors it will not need treating and will last much longer.

To name a few I have sculptured hares, pigs, tortoises, cats, owls, deer, sheep, dogs. 

I have also sculptured a panda and a sloth.

Let me know what you would like, happy to try out something different!

About me

At Life in Willow, I am a self taught Willow Sculptor living in the beautiful North Norfolk Countryside.

I take commissions, so send me a photo of something you would like sculptured out of willow and I will let you know what I can do.

I treat the willow with a preservative so they can be kept outside, this should be applied twice a year.
