In this episode we are live at the Harrogate flower show and we are talking to Leilah Vyner from Dragon Willow
Leilah is a traditional craft business aiming to encourage others to enjoy willow weaving and green wood working. She fosters an environmentally minded ethos in all my activities and her workshop is near Tadcaster in North Yorkshire. She have been weaving willow since 2000 and running her own business since 2010.
As time moved on, Leilah moved away from the medieval scene and started to make more everyday products including baskets and decorations. Due to the amount of people who asked , she then started to run workshops in basketry and garden items. She also started to learn how to make greenwood spoons and bowls using traditional hand tools.
Quite a few years later She moved to a place called Greenhow in North Yorkshire; this was an idyllic rural location in the Yorkshire Dales where she thought that she could expand her hobby. However the climate was too extreme to run a willow weaving business from, so she ended up moving to Tadcaster where the climate is much friendlier, this is where she started creating willow sculptures.
