Withy Sculptures

Withy Sculptures by Paula Briggs and Sheila Ceccarelli from AccessArt.

Traditionally used for basket weaving and garden sculpture, withies, or willow sticks, are a versatile construction material, ideal for building sculpture.

Withie bird made out of withies and wire by Giorgio Ceccarelli

They are a perfect material for exploring sculptural form and ‘drawing in space’. They are light and pliable and the perfect medium for building large scale hanging sculptures and ideal for working with themes surrounding birds, mythical creatures and flying machines.
