Willowcraft and Woodlands of Worcestershire was set up by Paul and Steph Simmons to preserve and promote rural crafts and education. In their small semi-ancient woodland nestled in the rolling Worcestershire countryside near Great Witley, they teach a range of courses in traditional woodland crafts and willow sculpture.
At Willowcraft and Woodlands, we have 15 years experience in coppice management, education and art installations.
We offer courses, volunteer opportunities and open days. We facilitate community art projects working with schools and colleges, local councils, countryside services and heritage organisations. Our artists and craftspeople create living willow installations and sculptures by commission.
Our aim is always to work in a way that protects and enhances the environment, its wildlife and our communities.
Willowcraft and Woodlands of Worcestershire supply raw materials and coppice by-products such as cleft timber, firewood, willow bundles, hazel rods and sweet chestnut poles to support our coppice regeneration programme.
