About Stephen

I've worked with willow for 20 or so years and it is still very satisfying creating with the natural surroundings. Teaching has been in schools, colleges, and other community groups as well as making willow structures for private gardens and community living spaces. Based in the Manchester area, I travel throughout the northwest of England to bring you willow craft expertise.
To create a garden feature, prices start from £100 for half day projects to £180 for full days, and long term projects are negotiable.
