Make a useful and beautiful willow basket using traditional weaving techniques.
Donald will guide you as you make a round bread/fruit basket using a selection of Fife and Somerset willows. Starting with the creation of a traditional round base, we will then attach and weave the sides before completing the basket with a border.
This day is suitable for beginners who want to try willow basketry for the first time, and also for people who have done a little basketry already and want to do more.
PLEASE NOTE
Your willow basket weaving Tutor lives with someone who is still needing to shield and is in a very vulnerable position.
With this in mind, we ask that if anyone is feeling unwell that they do not attend the workshop, to take a lateral flow test where possible or wear a mask.
While this is no longer our general policy for attending a class, in this circumstance we feel it necessary and we are sure that you can understand.
The room is large and there are only 6 participants. It will be well ventilated and we all have the luxury of a large table each to ourselves, so we are well spaced apart.
Tea and coffee is available throughout the day but please do remember a packed lunch!
We will be making a useful and versatile round willow basket using a number of traditional techniques. All materials and tools will be provided.
Please be aware that working with willow is hard work for the hands and brain, so expect to be a little tired by the end of your busy but enjoyable day!
Tea and coffee is available at the centre, but please bring a packed lunch.
If travelling by car, please park at Waterstone crook car park and make your way up to the centre. We have limited parking at the Centre which is reserved for blue badge holders and those with limited mobility only.
