Connecting Makers in Our Community - Willow Weaving Workshops at Donegal Castle
In celebration of both National Heritage Week and Donegal Town's 550th anniversary, Donegal Castle is hosting a week of crafts - connecting local makers in our community. Come along to Donegal Castle and learn to make a Decorative Flower from Natural Willow to place in your garden or your home. The workshop will be led by Eileen Mc Gonigle. We will use traditional basket making techniques to make our flower. The willow you will be using is grown by me locally in Donegal, harvested by hand and is grown without the use of any chemicals.
