Join me for a relaxed and sociable half-day basket weaving workshop and create your own beautiful and practical Nut Basket.
This shorter session is designed to be accessible and enjoyable, with the basket framework (ribs and jig) prepared in advance. This means you can focus on the creative part of weaving, using a simple over-and-under technique to build your basket.
You will be making a slender, boat-shaped basket, perfect for holding small treasures such as nuts, fruit, or everyday finds or simply for the contents of your pockets. Each basket will naturally take on its own unique character as you weave, with the opportunity to work with a selection of willow to create subtle colour and texture variations.
Guidance will be given throughout, helping you confidently shape and complete your piece. You will leave with a finished basket that is both functional and handmade by you.
Suitable for beginners and those with a little experience. This is an ideal introduction to willow weaving or a gentle next step for anyone wanting to build confidence and skills.
Please note that willow weaving does require some hand strength and dexterity, but the session is paced to be supportive and achievable.
📍 Location: Eglinton Country Park (Room at the Courtyard)
💰 Cost: £45 (includes all materials and tools)
👥 Spaces limited to ensure a relaxed and supportive experience.
This workshop is perfect for beginners and as a basic introduction to willow weaving techniques
