I taught Karen and Suzi at a brand new studio on Saturday. Opened by Helen Nottage this month, the Waveney Arts and crafts centre is an oasis of tranquility. The workshop space is a converted cart lodge on Helen’s farm.

We had such a lovely day making hanging baskets and long frame baskets. The weather was beautiful and Helen made a stunning lunch which I forgot to take a photo of 😂.

Check out her website and Facebook page. Upcoming workshops include still life painting, clay sculpture, stained glass and upholstery.

Back @star_wing_brewery yesterday for a one to one with Alison. A keen gardener, her great plant support attracted lots of attention from folk on their way to buy bread and cake from Mick the baker. 😊 #willow #willowplantsupport #willowweaving #willowtuition #sunnydays #weavingoutside #learnsomethingnew

Tony and Sue made frame baskets today, a retirement gift from work colleagues. I was told they were ‘good at stuff like this’ but had never made a basket before.

They didn’t put a weaver wrong all day. Amazing. 😊 #willow #willowbasket #basketcourse #framebasket #rushandwillow #basketryinthesunshine @star_wing_brewery #funwithfriendsandfamily #learnsomethingnew
