Basketry Gift Card
£260.00
One to One Basketry Day
Description
On this one day workshop you will learn how to weave a small gathering basket with a leather or fabric shoulder strap. The basket is woven up from a simple tray base, suitable for beginners to the craft. On the sides you will learn two different types of weave and a simple border. We will be working with willow, but there will be opportunity to personalise your basket through a choice of colours and the addition of some foraged materials from the woods.
The design of the basket is my own, inspired by the shape of old fishing creels. A flat back to rest comfortably against your body with a curved belly to hold your foraged treasures safe. The cross body shoulder strap leaves your arms free to gather and explore.
It’s my pleasure to share this ancient craft with you and all the hidden benefits to wellbeing that weaving out in nature brings.
The fee includes all materials, a simple homemade lunch and refreshments.
