Beginner-friendly willow weaving workshop with Alison Walling to make festive stars, reindeer and Christmas trees, with materials supplied.
Alison Walling is leading a festive willow weaving workshop at Ferens Art Gallery on Saturday 5 December, from 10.30am to 3.15pm. It's a full day's session, and beginners are welcome, so you don't need any prior experience with willow to get involved.
The workshop uses a range of colourful willows to teach basic weaving techniques. Over the course of the day, you'll make large and small stars, as well as decorative pieces like mini reindeer and Christmas trees. All the materials are supplied, so you just need to turn up and get stuck in.
It's held at the Ferens, one of the city's most significant regional galleries, with a permanent collection that runs from the medieval period through to the present day across twelve galleries and the Centre Court. The building had a multi-million-pound refit in 2016 and hosted the Turner Prize in 2017. Its hangings range from a Renaissance and Baroque room with masters like Lorenzetti to an Eighteenth Century room with work by Guardi and Canaletto, alongside modern and contemporary artists including Kossoff and Wearing. On the ground floor is the award-winning 'Explore Art' gallery, a hands-on space for young children.
