9.30am - 5.00pm
Join us for a full day of creativity and craftsmanship as you weave your own beautiful basket from locally grown willow. Guided through traditional techniques, you’ll learn how to create the base, stake up the sides and weave a strong, well-balanced basket to take home.
This workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those with some weaving experience. A good degree of hand strength and dexterity is required, as basket making is a physical and rewarding process.
All tools and locally grown willow
Step-by-step tuition throughout the day
Tea, coffee and biscuits
A delicious light lunch prepared by award-winning chef and Great British Menu winner, Emily Lampson, made using seasonal local produce.
Please wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes suitable for a practical workshop environment.
Spend the day immersed in a traditional rural craft, enjoy wonderful food, and leave with a timeless handmade basket created entirely by you.
Early booking recommended.
