Service Description

Step into the art of willow weaving and craft your very own foraging trug with Jo Sadler, using locally sourced Somerset willow. Hosted in the beautiful hillside barn at Mello View, you'll be surrounded by breathtaking views of the Axe Valley as you immerse yourself in this mindful and creative experience. You'll weave something unique to you, connecting with the natural world and discovering the therapeutic joys of working with your hands. After creating your trug, we’ll take a local walk to soak in the beauty of the area. The day includes all materials, expert guidance from Jo, and plenty of tea, coffee, and snacks to fuel your creativity. Please bring your own lunch and dress appropriately for the walk. This is a space to slow down, get lost in the rhythm of weaving, and leave with something meaningful made by you.
