MAKE A WILLOW BALL
tutor Lynne Wilson
Lynne Wilson is a Landscape Designer & Artist in willow and clay from Cromwell.
12 keen students turned up at our meeting point and headed off to harvest willow to make our willow balls from.
With our arms (and cars) full we returned to the Queenstown Arts Centre to learn from Lynne.
We all had a great day with wonderful creations the result - many went home to continue making more.
