Service Description

Something a wee bit different for me. I was looking to design something that would fit on a narrow piece of wall in the house. I wanted it to have plenty of plaiting opportunities and this is what turned out. I get an Indian feel when I look at the finished design. Quite a few different plaits in the design, not difficult though, so anyone can have a go. I will also talk through the thought process when designing a piece so that you can start designing items just for you. You can work along with me, or you can just watch and after the workshop you will receive a recording of the class for you to play back as often as you want while you make your piece. June 16th 2026 | 7pm - 9pm BST Materials Required: Approx 50-60 medium thickness plaiting straws, dampened Florist wire, 18 gauge 25cm, 10" in length Straw Splitter, I used a 4 splint splitter Dog Comb or Spreuer tool Scissors Wire Cutters Strong Thread for tying Ruler Glue Gun and glue sticks (although you could tie the pieces in place) 1 length of straw thread (optional) Pin Board and Pins, can be a piece of polystyrene packing and dress makers pins If you book a kit it will contain all the straws required plus the florist wire. The Angel policy on this one is that you can produce it for your own use and to gift to friends. If anyone wants to make this design to sell or to teach please contact Elaine for permission to do so.
