November 2024 - 2 Day Willow Basketry Workshop
November 2024 - 2 Day Willow Basketry Workshop
Join me for a two day basketry workshop in Cooksbridge near Lewes, East Sussex.
I will be teaching participants how to make a small to medium round willow basket perfect for storing vegetables or other small items.
You will learn how to make a slath base, attach stakes and weave the main body of the basket, concluding with a simple border.
On day 1 we will cover material preparation and selection, complete the base of the basket and attach stakes, ready for weaving.
Day 2 will start with weaving a three rod wale to secure the stakes, you will then weave the main body of your basket and finish by making a border to secure your weaving and complete your basket.
Whether you are completely new to basket making, or have made a handful of baskets, this workshop is suitable for you. Weaving is a physical process and reasonable hand strength is required.
