Willow is an exciting material to work with. Its quick growth gives almost immediate results and, as there is a great variety of leaf shape and stem colour, structures look attractive throughout the year. Jon Warnes shows how to build a wonderful selection of decorative, functional and fun objects for the garden.. It is adaptable, easy to work with, and it will grow in a range of soils
He also runs living willow courses which include demonstrations on how to make living willow chairs. Since then he has developed his woodland craft skills and he now runs regular rustic furniture courses at the Centre of Alternative Technology in Mid Wales, the the Green Wood Trust in Shropshire. . Jon Warnes developed a keen interest in working with wood after volunteering to do some coppicing work in the early nineties
