Engaging in creative activity is known to have a positive impact on wellbeing. For some, it can offer a welcome distraction and provide an opportunity to contemplate and express emotions.

Join Kerstin from Somerby Basketry who will teach and guide you to make your own willow birdfeeder using traditional weaving methods. The birdfeeder can also be used in your kitchen as plastic free storage container for example for garlic or onions, and you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you made it yourself!
