CREATIVE visitors to a country park have been given a lesson in garden decoration.

Artist Derek Mosey lead the willow workshop at Flatts Lane Woodland Country Park, Normanby, Middlesbrough, organised by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council.

Mr Mosey and the council's countryside wardens demonstrated the art of willow weaving to create their own willow garden feature.

A spokesman for the park said: "Derek did a wonderful job; his skills are unique and everyone who turned up were intrigued. He was extremely busy all day and I'm sure everyone learned some valuable new skills."
