Tutor:
Laura Bacon
Laura is a practising willow sculptor specialising in curvaceous, contemporary forms for interiors and the landscape. Commissions include sculpture trails at Hebden Bridge and, more locally, the Wirksworth Festival. She often works on a grand scale, creating pieces large enough to enter, and building around existing features such as trees or dry stone walls. |
|
| Materials Several types of willow will be available on the course. The price starts at £10 but varies depending on the size, variety and quantity used. |
