Working with Living Willow

A couple of weeks ago during the UCA residency Kent Wildlife Trust organised a working with live willow workshop. This was to create living willow archway approximatley half way round the trail.


The day was very well attended with several groups working on other sculptures as well.


So...yeh...no...thats got to go...thats on ...yeh ..there


under-over-under- under-no-no over.

its coming together now - looking good

this will grow into a little house.

reminds me of 'how many people can you fit in a
telephone box or a mini? I think we can get at
least a couple more in there!

  I hope it rains soon as the willow needs it now to establish properly, we had the same problem last year with no rain. We cut down the one made the previous year and you can just see it about knee height to the left of the new one.
