About this Event
We offer this workshop for free to make it accessible to eveyone in our community. However, if you are able to donate we would greatly apprechiate it!
£35 covers material costs for one person. Pay what you can, if money is tight it's on us, just show up!
We will be making a practical and stylish garlic holding basket, with a handle, to hang in your kitchen. The basket is long and thin, tapering towards the bottom. Alternatively, the basket is the right size to fit bird fat balls in and can be hung outside for birds to feed on.
We will use a former to position the uprights initially, then use a ‘pairing ‘weave to hold them in place, creating the shape and making the collar of the basket. The uprights will be pulled together and tied with a piece of willow in a Japanese style knot, then the basket removed from the former and a border woven with the uprights to lock them together. After trimming the basket off, a simple handle will be made by inserting a rod into the weaving, taking it over the top, through the other side, and back again then weaving away to secure.
