Make your own willow bird feeder

In this willow weaving workshop, you’ll use a jig to create a beautiful spiral bird feeder – perfect for fat balls to attract small garden birds.

In spring, it can double up as a handy holder for nesting materials (dog hair works brilliantly!). Scaled down, these feeders also make charming kitchen baskets for garlic or small fruits, adding a rustic touch to your wall.

This course will teach you useful skills which have lots of other applications including making garden obelisks.
