2.2 Clothing and footwear
Please dress appropriately for the time of year your course is being held. Do not wear your best clothing as willow can be dirty and for some courses you may need to work on the floor. Please wear sensible footwear as we use sharp cutting implements.

Tea, coffee and cake are available throughout the day. If you have any specific dietary requirements we would be grateful if you could let us know in advance or bring along your own refreshments.
2.4 Materials
Materials are included in the cost of the course. More often than not, you will use damp soaked willow so please wear appropriate clothing. Willow has a very small amount of aspirin in its bark. If this could be an issue for you please get in touch before booking onto a course as it may be possible to use willow that has had the bark removed.

The workspace in Orleton Village hall where some courses are held can be accessed via a concrete slab ramp and so can be considered wheelchair friendly.
