Hats off to Clive from from Welig Heritage Crafts, Portaferry, as he guided four of us through the process of weaving a hare from willow.
We had great fun. So much craic and chat that poor Clive had to keep chivvying us back to our hares so that we had the chance of going home with something!
We all had a bit of filling in left to do, and Clive made sure we had plenty of willow to take home to complete our beasties.
Mine has a little to go, but even in its current stage it has some very hare-like qualities!
I highly recommend Welig Heritage Crafts workshops and guarantee you will enjoy every moment if you get the chance to go to one. Clive has shorter workshops for e.g. bird feeders and St. Brigit crosses.
