Try out straw weaving and plaiting with Julia Bovee.

During this day-long craft workshop, you will learn how to select and prepare straws, how to tie them, and a selection of weaving and plaiting techniques. By the end of the day, you should have several small pieces of decorative straw work to take home with you, helping to keep this endangered and beautiful craft alive.

Julia Bovee’s work predominantly relates to nature and the renewal of life and is heavily influenced by ritual celebrations of British and native cultures.
