About the Event
On this one day workshop you will learn traditional willow basketry techniques to create your own, unique, round basket with handle. Willow weaving can sometimes be wet and dirty so please wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy.
This is a beginner level course and no previous basketry experience is required. You will need good manual dexterity. Tools and materials will be provided.
Please bring a mug for hot drinks. There is an onsite cafe where you can buy lunch. Alternatively, bring a packed lunch and picnic in the farm grounds.
Whilst no previous experience is required, weaving can be hard on the hands and might not be suitable for those with conditions that restrict manual strength and dexterity. All persons attending my workshops must be aged 18 or over.
