Organic Matters was started in 2008 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 courses myself I became completely hooked on the most versatile skill and ancient craft 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.
Since 2011 the willow weaving took over completely when I started to teach. I love being able to pass on the skills of this ancient craft and spend time with such lovely people. I run regular basketry, plant support and general weaving courses in Nunney near Frome in Somerset. Also at other local venues including The Makers Yard and Vallis Farm near Frome. The Urban Garden in Bath and Newton Farm Shop just outside. Private courses can be arranged here or at a venue of your choice. I have worked with many schools and have done some really exciting sculpture projects and workshops. Commissions always welcome.
So take a look at what's on offer. I hope you find something of interest.
If you know where you are going, you can go ahead and complete your booking for a course here or check availability over the coming weeks.
