Harcourt Arboretum (University of Oxford), Oxford, UK
Spend the morning learning about the traditional craft of straw work. As well as being an endangered craft, working with straw is a very mindful activity and during the workshop your tutor will teach you how to prepare the straw as well as some of the history of this humble material. You will learn how to plait the straw using a variety of techniques and make your own straw dragonfly to take home.
Suitable for age 18+, no experience necessary but some hand dexterity is required.
