    Willow Gathering Baskets and Herbalism at Meadowsweet Organic Farm

    At the weekend I travelled up to my homeland- Scotland- to collaborate with my inspirational friend Rosy. Rosy not only runs an organic farm (http://www.meadowsweet-organics.co.uk/) with her husband, but is also a qualified herbalist. On Saturday I taught students how to make simple willow gathering baskets, and on Sunday some of the participants took part in a seasonal herbalism workshop led by Rosy. We made were a simple version of a traditional frame basket. You can read

    Over Solstice weekend I welcomed students to Bwlch Corog, the Nature Reserve neighbouring my home for a weekend of moss weaving. We gathered from the hills, made moss cordage, plaited and sewed plaits into unique forms. I was really impressed with the skill and imagination of all my students! Check out what we made, and some of the fun we had in the hills:
