A fantasy flower is the term I'm using as although this could be based on a type of lily it's not. It's whatever your imagination wants it to be. This is quite a large project so I have split it into 2 days so that there is no rushing at the last minute to get your work finished.  Lots of different techniques and elements will be taught and you'll make at least one large fantasy flower standing about 50cm tall.…

This workshop is aimed at beginners or more experienced straw workers that want to work on improve their plaiting techniques. We will work on several common plaits during the day and make one finished item to take home.

Come and learn the basic way to make a straw horse.  You can then go on to embellish them with extra plaits etc. if you like.
