Create a Stunning, Eco‑Friendly Willow Swift for Your Home or Garden 🕊️🌿


Celebrate the return of spring and the magical arrival of migrating swifts with a hands‑on creative workshop at the Seaton Wetlands Reed Base!


Join talented local willow artist Belinda Martin for an inspiring, relaxing session where you’ll craft your very own elegant swift sculpture using sustainably sourced willow.

With Belinda’s expert guidance, you’ll learn traditional dolly weaving and random weaving techniques to create a unique 30cm garden ornament-perfect for brightening an outdoor space or adding a touch of nature to your home.

Once finished, your handmade willow swift will be ready to welcome the real birds as they return from their incredible journey.

Enjoy a friendly atmosphere with complimentary hot drinks and biscuits, plus all materials and tools included. Just bring along a packed lunch and your creativity.

✨ No experience needed -this workshop is suitable for all abilities. Come and get creative with us!
