Willow foraging basket -1 day course

Spend a day learning how to weave with different varieties of willow sustainably grown in Somerset. On this 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. Suitable for beginners or those with some experience.

This basket could be used for foraging berries, collecting eggs or used for storage around the home. A great introduction to the craft of willow weaving in the beautiful surroundings of Highgrove house and gardens.
