| Description | Basketmaking is one of the oldest of all crafts. It pre-dates pottery and cloth weaving, and led to the invention of both. Spend a day using colourful, locally-grown organic willow. 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. |
