Spend a day learning how to weave with different varieties of willow sustainably grown in Somerset and Gloucestershire. On this one-day course Tess will introduce you to the ancient craft of basketry and guide you through the steps needed to complete a basket that will be functional as well as beautiful. You will follow the ‘stake and strand’ method and learn several different weave patterns, creating a round basket, if time with an added handle. Your basket could be used for berry picking, collecting eggs or similar. Suitable for beginners or tailored for those with some basketmaking experience.
