Whether you are a budding novice or a crafting expert you can compliment your traditional craft experience in this workshop where you will learn how to create unique Christmas decorations made from willow and straw. Straw Craft Ireland will demonstrate how to make willow stars, straw knots and glory braids with a festive feel, and teach you the skills necessary to make a straw spiral weave. These skills and learned techniques will then allow you to craft your very own beautiful Christmas pomander of orange, clove and cinnamon encased in a straw spiral weave plait and finished off with traditional seasonal trimmings.
