Our Next Meeting
Monday 9th December 2024. Doors open 7.30pm.
This month we have invited Chaz Friend, founder of Wayside Willow based in Nuneaton, to come and talk to us.
At our evening meeting Chaz will tell the story of his journey into willow, talk about some of the processes of his craft, looking at some of the seasonal elements and talk about some of the different basketry styles and how the are built.
He’ll mention the sculptural styles he uses and conclude with looking at living willow structures and the sustainability of willow and why it’s good to use it.
Doors open at 7:30 as usual and the meeting will start around 7:45.
We’ll be having a glass of wine and a mince pie too, as it’s our last meeting before Christmas
Visitors (£3) and new members are always welcome.
Day trips
Plans are underway for trips in 2025.
Our Monthly Competition

Cut and bring along between 1-3 stems of flowers or foliage for a chance to win a bottle of wine.
Size doesn’t matter – as long as you’ve picked it from your own garden, window-box or pot!
