Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to some of the most common questions we get asked.

I would like to buy one of your sculptures shown on the website but its not for sale

 It may be ready to go with me to a art show or event or it has already found a new home. All of my creations are unique giving them their own identity, if you would like me to create you a brother or sister or indeed something totaly different please free to contact me to discuss ideas , If you have never commisioned a custom peice,  please contact me to discuss. 

This will be my first time working with willow which are the best activities for someone starting out

 It depends on how you like to work and how quickly you work if your someone who likes to focus on small items and is very neat and likes to take your times then you may prefer working on something small , larger sculptures allow the possibility to express and free up your creativity but dont let that put your of it just takes longer if you prefer neatness and uniformity.

How long will a willow sculpture last

 It all depends, on whichwhere you want to place it, willow kept indoors or under cover will ast for many years, if you want to put it outside it all depends on which willow has been used, willow with its bark will last much longer than willow with no bark and it will need to be regularaly treated with a wood  preservative. In addition the location makes a difference as none of us like a soggy bottom and we all like to dry out when we get wet.

Loosley woven sculptures can last on average 2 - 3 years and  densly woven sculptures often  last  for  5 years or more depending on the elements etc  .

I provide after care details with the artwork that I create as well as for workshop students  on how to do this.
