Beginners Basketry
A Basket Weaving Workshop
Make a small round fruit basket with expert tutor Judith Needham
This is a great introduction to basketry for complete beginners and makes a good practice session for those with some basket making experience.
You will make a round basket about 10cm tall and 20cm diameter - perfect for displaying fruit.
Basket making is a fascinating craft involving many different techniques and yet using only a single material – Somerset willow in this case. Keeping your first basket small gives you time to perfect each technique and really get to understand how a basket is constructed.
It makes for a very interesting day with the bonus of taking home a beautiful, functional object that you’ve made yourself.
