Basket weaving has a rich tradition as a craft, and not only does it enable you to make a beautiful work of art, you will produce something really useful too!
In this one-day course, you will learn the fundamentals of basket-weaving, from sourcing materials, to the techniques to create a basic basket, and to create a handle for it.
You will be encouraged to design your own basket - whether its a berry-basket for foraging, an egg basket, or even a bowl basket for fruit!
Suitability: Beginner up, 18+
What we provide: basket weaving materials, tea and coffee (*please bring your own packed lunch).
Workshop Details:
Saturday 11th May 9,30am-5.30pm
