The project is nearing an end now with only 2 more sessions to go, and this week was the competition for free tickets to Chelsea Flower Show.
After 7 sessions of sculpture making the project participants are getting quite good at creating their willow sculptures and incorporating a range of surface patterns and swirls.
After competition they are taken back to the studio for a trim and left to dry for a week before they are preserved with boiled linseed oil and turps, the traditional method of preserving willow.
At the beginning of the project everyone was told about the chance to win one of four tickets to go to the Chelsea flower show to see the sculptures in situ. All the names were put in a hat and Tom, Trish, Kate and Jane were the lucky winners. Well done! you all deserve them and have worked really hard on your sculptures over the last few weeks.
