Made from live or dried plants, our woven willow sculptures have endless possibilities in residential gardens, community spaces, and commercial businesses. From hanging outdoor artwork to living fences to domes and pergolas, these works of art inspire whimsical placemaking, imagination, and community engagement. Woven sculptures serve as an illustrative example of how witnessing repurpose and regrowth can connect us deeper to nature and ourselves.
Living Woven Sculptures
Regeneration through art
Creating sculptures out of willow takes advantage of a technique called coppicing, or pruning, which helps the plant to grow and regenerate. To create the sculptures, we cut willow sticks—ideally from the surrounding habitat— and either dry them before weaving or replant the live cuttings into the ground to sprout. These sculptures also create habitats for birds, insects, and other native creatures to thrive.
Woven sculptures are perfect for
Enclosing places of refuge, reflection, and repose in communal areas
Engaging the community and decorating spaces after volunteer site clean-up projects
Creating destination-worthy works of art for local businesses looking to stand out
Repurposing collected materials from existing wildfire fuel reduction projects
Reducing the number of trees that need to be cut down when using willow fences in place of traditional wood carpentry fences
