Willow Deer Workshop

Enjoy a creative day creating a deer for your garden out of willow with local artist Stefan Jennings.

Discover the artistry of willow weaving with Stefan. Join our hands-on workshop and create your own charming deer from willow sourced from our farm.

During the workshop you will create a deer with willow sourced from here on Sheppy’s Cider Farm. You will have the opportunity to learn new skills and understand how different materials can be used to weave and create. The finished structure will make a lovely addition to your garden and home. A truly sustainable addition to your garden.

Stefan Jennings who created the Willow Cathedral in Longrun Meadow and will be your tutor for the class. Stefan is an incredible craftsman and very passionate about his work; we are privileged to welcome him for the event.

The opportunity to create further willow structures on the day depending on time available. This workshop is hands-on, possibly kneeing work, so bringing someone to knee on, like a gardening pad or cushion would be beneficial. Also bringing your own garden secateurs or sharp scissors would help guests from sharing. 

Our Old Barn does have a log burner, but it might get a little chilly so bring cloths to wrap up warm.

We will be taking photos during the event so please let a member of staff know if you would not like to be in the photos.
