After being a course leader and lecturer in Horticulture at Nottingham Trent University for nearly 20 years I am now working on a new venture in Limousin, France. In our plant nursery and garden school we aim to carry on sharing our passion for horticulture and natural crafts.
Specialist subjects include plant science, propagation, plant identification, specialist traditional and modern pruning and maintenance techniques. We also teach greenwood crafts, weaving, stained glass art and other crafts using natural materials.
Chicken wire Hedgehog 22nd August 2019
Have a go at chicken wire sculpture and make a cute hedgehog to display in your home or garden or give to someone as a gift.
This course is aimed at beginners and will teach the basics of sculpting with chicken wire. The course will run from 10.00-3.00 on Thursday 22nd August 2019. 40 Euros per person. A light lunch is included as well as all materials and you will be able to take home your hedgehog.
You will need to wear comfortable work clothes and you may want to bring some gardening gloves. Chicken wire is a malleable material but it does take some physical strength and dexterity to use it as a medium for sculpture. We can support anybody who needs a little help to finish their sculpture on the day
If you enjoy this beginners course we also offer intermediate courses later this year to make chicken, owl, piglet and duckling sculptures for the garden.
