Basketry – Self Help Group

Six 3 hour morning sessions (10 am – 1 pm) FRIDAYS

Dates: 19/9, 3/10, 17/10, 31/10, 14/11, 28/11


This is an opportunity for more experienced basketmakers to try some new basketry techniques or work with new materials eg rush, bark or hedgerow. For less experienced makers the session allows time to practice things already learnt in class but with support from the group. All attendees must be able to work independently following instructions from a book as there is no dedicated tutor for this group.

You will need to prepare your own willow and other materials for each session. Advice on where to purchase willow and soaking times for willow will be provided before the start of term. The group is suitable for more advanced basketmakers who are seeking motivation and an encouraging working environment from fellow basketmakers.
