October 2025 2 day Willow Basketry Workshop
October 2025 2 day Willow Basketry Workshop
Join me for a two day basketry workshop in Cooksbridge, East Sussex.
I will be teaching participants how to make a small Willow frame Basket.
You will learn how to make a frame basket, using a pre made steam bent Willow hoop and ribs.
On day 1 we will cover material preparation and selection and setting in the pre-formed Willow ribs. You will then start to weave the basket, each Willow weaver is placed in the basket and woven around the ribs and wrapped around the Willow hoop, creating a simple, beautiful piece.
Day 2 you will continue to weave your frame basket, getting into a rhythm with the process of weaving and wrapping, finishing your basket with an optional leather loop for hanging it on a wall.
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.
