Welcome to our exciting programme of willow craft courses for 2026. We are offering three weeks of themed courses this year….Weaving for Gardeners, unique Willow Furniture making and Basketry Skills. All courses can be booked individually or you can book the whole group in a theme for a deep dive into the craft experience – whilst saving money!

Dave Jackson, aka The Stick Smith, has been willow weaving and making willow furniture since 1999. At this time he started teaching rural crafts to excluded school children, quickly expanding to teaching adults. Dave has now been teaching for over 20 years and delights in showing people how to turn a humble bundle of sticks into objects of beauty with utility.
