Welcome
Organic Matters was started about eleven years ago to help people to grow vegetables in their own gardens. Initially to complement the vegetable gardening I discovered the wonderful world of willow. After doing a few workshops myself I was completely hooked on the most versatile skill of weaving with willow. I've kept the name as I feel it also applies to the new direction I have taken. I believe it is equally important for us to work with organic materials, not just eat organically. So the willow weaving has now taken over completely. I run workshops and courses in Nunney near Frome in Somerset. Private workshops can be arranged at a venue of your choice. I also work with schools and have done some really exciting sculpture projects and workshops, for more information click here. Come along and try it for yourself but be warned, working with willow is highly addictive! You can register your interest to let me know of your specific requirements or sign up to my newsletter where I will be posting upcoming dates with spaces to fill as well as on here.

What others have to say.....
'I have spent two afternoons with Mary in her beautiful new workshop, a perfect setting with beautiful views of her lovely garden. Really light and airy with the doors open but look forward to a session in the colder days with her newly installed little wood burner glowing. Mary is very engaging and an excellent teacher, time fly's by, challenging but amazingly relaxing her knowledge of willow is fascinating. This week I made a garden support which I am so proud of. Mary said working with willow becomes addictive and I certainly agree, I can’t wait to get going again'.
