Garden & Craft Fair 22/23 May 2010

I have been weaving to fill my stall at the Garden & Craft Fair in Armadale Castle Gardens, Isle of Skye, which will be on 22nd and 23th of May (more info at www.clandonald.com )

My own crop and the delivery from Barfad willow inspired me to a wide variety of baskets with all kinds of shapes and colours.

These frosty and sunny days are perfect to crop the willow in my garden! The Salix purpurea 'Dark Dick' has a lovely colour. I am looking forward to weaving baskets with it.

Photos of the willow weaving workshop in Auchtertyre Learning Centre on the 7th of December are posted on www.picasaweb.google.com/moniquebervoets This was the first evening of the 6 week course, which is now fully booked.

The Craft Fair yesterday in Armadale, Isle of Skye was a big success: well organised and attended. The many stalls offered high quality products. It was a pleasure to be part of it!

Favourites on my Willow Weaving stall were the logbaskets (I sold all 3) and the rustic baskets made with a variety of willow cropped in my garden in Sallachy. See photo.

Many people showed interest in the courses I offer in the Local Learning Centres, so get in touch as soon as possible to reserve a place! For dates and telephone numbers, see last post.
