Willow Weaving Workshop in a Woodland Setting near Padstow
Description:
Looking for a unique, hands-on experience in Cornwall? Join a willow weaving workshop at Mellingey Mill, a hidden woodland craft centre near Padstow and Wadebridge.
Set in a peaceful valley, these workshops take place outdoors in a beautiful off-grid setting. With no distractions and very little signal, it’s the perfect opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature, and learn a traditional craft.
You’ll be guided step-by-step through the process of working with natural willow—most of which is grown right here on site—to create your own handcrafted piece to take home.
No experience is needed, and all tools and materials are provided.
Highlights:
Make your own willow basket or sculpture
Relaxed, friendly teaching in a small group
Beautiful woodland location near Padstow
Take home your finished piece
