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.

What is Living Willow and Dead Willow or Wicker?

Living or Green Willow Living willow, also known as green willow is still fresh and capable of sprouting, and is planted, rather than installed. It lasts indefinitely and can grow taller - into a tree even! It has a lovely fresh green feel to it. Trimming is needed every year or two. Available: September to March Uses: Structures and dens that sprout. Contact Stephen on 07773 635801 The arch and screen in the picture below takes one day and costs around £180 In the same picture, the small den behind it takes half a day and costs around £100 Dead Willow or Wicker Work  This is willow that has been left in storage rather than kept alive, and is no longer growing.

Available: all year round Uses: Screens, barriers, sculptures, obelisks for inside and outside. Contact Stephen on 07773 635801 Willow Bundles A
