Wells Deer Workshop
Service Description
Join willow artist Jo Sadler for a Deer workshop at Heritage Courtyard Gallery and Studios in the heart of Wells. Guided step by step, you’ll create your very own willow deer sculpture, using Somerset willow. This hands-on workshop includes all materials, including a supportive metal frame within your sculpture. Set in a light-filled studio space surrounded by creative energy, this workshop is a chance to slow down, connect with natural materials, and leave with a striking sculpture to treasure. Refreshments will be available throughout the day, and we’ll pause around 1 pm for a one-hour lunch break. You are welcome to bring your own food or explore the many cafés, pubs, and restaurants just a short walk away in Wells.
