2 day Willow Animal Sculpture Workshop

Tutor: Caroline Gregson.

It is always so inspiring and invigorating to learn something new! During this two day workshop we will have a chance to learn how to weave animal sculptures. No experience necessary for this fun and accessible medium. Caroline reports: “I have had people make horse trophy heads, various breeds of dogs, hares, goats, deer, as well as sheep and small flocks of birds. In the past we have had unicorns, dragons, birds in flight and simple human figures so anything might be possible. I like a challenge!”

Caroline has over 16 years of teaching experience and the excellence of Caroline’s work has been recognised by The Worshipful Company of Basketmakers, one of the trade companies of the City of London and since 2010 she is honoured to be a Yeoman of the Company.

1/2 Day Botanical Self-Selection Equine Workshop

1/2 day Botanical Self-Healing for Horses workshop led by the wonderful Rachel Windsor-Knott Dip. IAZ. 15 April 10.30 to 2pm £50 per person. Commonly referred to as Applied Zoopharmacognosy (don't let that long word put you off!), Botanical Self-Healing enables you to listen and authentically connect with your animal’s innate healing abilities. Rachel expresses it beautifully: "Botanical self-healing is not about ‘fixing’ anything or any being. This beautiful process is centred in nurturing the intuition. The process will bring you and your animal into alignment, to connect on a soul level, and allow you to step forward with all the tools you need to live in harmony." Rachel works with herbs, essential oils and hydrosols and the workshop will include both theory and practice. You can read more about Rachel here: https://myanimalmatters.co.uk Message me to reserve your place or drop me an email to babette@starlightcottage.co.uk
