Another successful day in the life of the Green Garden Project and some lovely sculptures being made.
There was a real buzz in the room as people were becoming little more comfortable with each other and the confidence working the willow had risen. As I went around the room to each participant, the difference from the last week was evident straight away, the shapes and forms on the sculptures becoming more fluid with tighter weaves of willow.
The second sculpture making session is now complete and the work is looking great, everyone that attended this week enjoyed themselves and the comments, well see for your self:
“Really lovely class. Brilliant chance to work with willow. Haven’t tried this before but wonderful opportunity. Have loved it.” Jane
“Really enjoyed today, seeing the structure take shape and the patterns form. Learning all the time, so hopefully the next one will be better! Willow much easier to handle today with the extra soaking” Kate – volunteer
“Very enjoyable and satisfying and have learnt a new skill.” Tricia
“I think they are fantastic” Sandra
“Working with willow is very enjoyable, a bit of a struggle with one hand but it was most enjoyable. Hopefully when the project finished it will look brilliant” Tom
“I feel good” Malcolm
“I found it very relaxing, I didn’t think I would be able to do it today with my arthritis, but it has really worked well, I have found it relaxing and helpful and an interesting subject. They look marvelous. Thank you for inviting me to the class.” Pat
“I thought everyone got really involved, it’s good to attempt it and a good skill to learn. I’ve taken lots of photos, and enjoyed taking the images.” “It’s amazing how each one is different.” Chris
“It’s very therapeutic, it relaxes you, you come here and feel a bit down when you’ve done this you feel high up again” Pat
