This workshop series is an excellent foray into basketry for beginners and intermediate weavers. You'll learn a new technique each week, and have the chance to practice it in between sessions. Our focus is on exploration, play and self-expression, not perfection!
All materials are provided, including a beautiful selection of natural fibres that have been prepared for you. Being a small class there’ll be time for personal tuition.
This will be a welcoming and relaxing space for anyone who wants to slow down, connect with nature and give weaving a go - or extend on what they already know!
BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL as there are limited spaces available.
