Five 3 hour morning sessions (10 am – 1 pm) FRIDAYS
Dates: 10/01, 24/01, 7/02, 21/02 , 7/03
This is an opportunity for experienced basketmakers to continue learning from and supporting each other and to practise new basketry techniques, perhaps focusing on a topic agreed at the beginning of term. Several interesting basketry projects are illustrated in the book ‘Willow’ by Jenny Crisp which could provide a good focus for the group. Alternatively basketmakers can work on their own projects with plenty of time for experimentation.
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.
