About it
Sat 6 Feb | 10am-4pm | £60
On this one-day willow weaving class you will weave with home-grown willow varieties to create a beautiful fruit basket which is both functional and decorative for your home. Under the expert guidance of the tutor, you will learn how to weave a circular base and construct the sides of the basket and then finish your basket design with a decorative border.
Participants will be supported step-by-step to create their piece and assisted with using sharp tools, making this workshop suitable for beginners or those with some previous willow weaving experience. The art of willow weaving is a meditative and relaxing activity where you can engage with a natural material and create a basket in a time-honoured way.
Basket making is a physical activity and requires reasonable stamina which allows for standing up for an extended period, physical movement and applying pressure with fingers and hands.
All materials and tools supplied.
