| Description | Basket making is one of the oldest of all crafts. It pre-dates pottery and cloth weaving, and led to the invention of both. Samantha Pearce is the tutor, and has been making and teaching about English baskets for over 20 years, using colourful, locally-grown organic willow. She also has 6 years experience in conservation woodland management and is a qualified tutor and holds a City & Guilds in Design Each student will craft his or her own frame basket. This style of basket uses the oldest of techniques, and is a very achievable basket, even with no previous experience necessary. This type of basket also lends itself well to the use of wild / garden / hedgerow materials. Join us in a woodland shelter, sit by a wood stove and weave your basket.
