Basket making courses in the basket shed
Please go to Workshops for a current list of courses and dates.
Ready to learn the ancient art of basket making? Join me for a relaxing and rewarding workshop experience right here in my secluded, light-filled garden workshop.
What to Expect
- Practical, hands-on skills: Basket making uses simple hand tools and natural materials, prepare to fall in love with willow and weaving!
- Patient, encouraging teaching: Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, you'll benefit from my patient teaching style.
- Small, supportive groups: To ensure you receive plenty of individual attention, I keep my workshop groups intentionally small, welcoming up to five people at a time.
- A project for everyone: I offer a fantastic range of projects to choose from, allowing you to select a design that truly excites you and suits your skill level.
