.fest this weekend was pure magic ✨ as someone who started willow weaving just over a year ago, it's been a complete love affair ever since then. From learning as much as I can through workshops, books and online classes, to now planting & growing my own basket willow here at home, to now getting to spend a full weekend completely submerged in it at my first tear up fest 🧺 from learning new techniques, willow soap making, to making new friends and getting to see some of my favourite weavers from all over the world in one magical place. I've come home so inspired and my I bought on site is already in my soaking tank, ready to practice everything I learnt over the weekend 🧺✨ special thank you for joining me, encouraging me and capturing snippets from the weekend 🌾💞
