Half-Day Woven Willow Boat-shaped Tray Workshops
Come and join Stuart Fidler and Emma Booth – the Coddiwomplers – for a fun, relaxed willow weaving workshop.
What will I do?
- Under the tuition of two experienced willow-weavers, you will learn to make a woven willow boat tray using traditional basketry techniques and a range of willow varieties.
- This project gives great scope for using the different bark colours to create stripes.
- Also known as a banana tray, it can be used for fruit, or as a decorative item.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
- People aged 16 and over
- Beginners; no experience necessary
- Some manual dexterity and strength is required for weaving the willow

It`s such a beautiful time of year, especially on sunny, warm spring days.
After those long, dark winter months, this is the refreshing change we`ve been waiting for!
These stunning photos were taken by our Estate Manager during his evening drive home. With the Hawthorne trees blossoming, daffodils standing to attention and putting on a vibrant show, and the lush green grass, it`s a perfect display of the Suffolk charm here at Rougham Estate.
Why don’t you explore it for yourself this weekend on one of our walks? More info can be found in our bio.
