Workshop
Discover the craft of willow weaving by creating your very own round basket. Over the course of the session, you’ll learn essential techniques such as selecting the willow, weaving the base using the pairing weave, building up the sides using waling and randing, adding a border, and adding a wrapped handle or fingerholes.
This workshop is perfect for beginners and those looking to improve their skills. If this is your very first basket we will start with the basic weaves. If you have woven a basket before, we can build on your existing skills. There will be group demonstrations and individual guidance.
You can make a fruit basket, a shopping basket, a kindling basket or a small log basket, …
Depending on your experience we can use different techniques to build up the sides.
We will bring some examples of different baskets you can make.
Join us for a fun weekend, and leave with a beautiful, practical basket. All materials and tools are provided.
Children above 16 are welcome, but need to be accompanied by an adult.
