It's growing!!! 🌿

My two boys have been so very kind in finding pine needles for me to coil. Most of them have been foraged during local walks around Helston, but I included a precious little batch on our annual trip to St Loy, a location that holds a special meaning to our family :) next up will be some very long pine needles found in Godolphin woods!! I love seeing them slowly grow and take shape

There are only a couple of days left to see Withy Lore at the National Lobster Hatchery, which ends this Sunday. This is also our last touring Withy Lore stop for now, whilst we take a moment to reflect and celebrate what we have all achieved !

It has been such an amazing experience working with Storylines throughout the development of Withy Lore. Together we have had the opportunity to explore many ways to document and share this beautiful craft and makers.

We have been so privileged to have some amazing venues to showcase the project, including Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery , Museum of Cornish Life , Kresen Kernow and the National Lobster Hatchery. We can't thank them enough for all of their support!

Also thank you to funders for believing in our ideas! and everyone who has visited one of exhibitions or taken part in workshops :)!
..and last but not least a massive thank you to all of the withy pot makers and withy pot enthusiasts for being so generous with your time, knowledge, skills! Without you, this project would not have happened.
