Willow Sculpture

Willow is a wonderfully versatile medium and is perfect for making sculpture. The ability to bend and twist willow means the possibilities for designs of willow sculpture are endless.It can easily be woven into all shapes and sizes.

To create a willow sculpture we start with the basic technique of making a series of woven rings which are then formed into the shape needed to produce a 'skeleton' of the sculpture subject. From that point on, random weaving is used to mould and fill in the sculpture and create the overall finished effect.

We like to take inspiration from nature and the animal kingdom and we always aim to work with natural materials.

A willow sculpture will typically last about 3 - 5 years if treated annually with a general wood preservative and can enhance any garden or outdoor area.
