Tips & Advice

  • Bring gloves if you are allergic to aspirin, because willow contains salicylic acid and may not be suitable to handle bare-handed.
  • Book a place for an adult as well as any teen over 14, since children that age can only attend with an adult.
  • Come without worrying about experience or kit, because all tools, materials and step-by-step guidance for the willow star are provided at the workshop.
  • Think about how you'll carry the finished star home, since it is decorated with LED fairy lights, fresh winter greenery and ribbon.
