One of Joe Gregory‘s most popular basketmaking courses this is a great basket for an absolute beginner and for those with some basketry skills more complicated weaves can be achieved on this course.
Over the two days you’ll have the opportunity to use different Willows and learn different weaving techniques to achieve a truly unique basket that will look fabulous in any setting.
If you have a special piece of wood of your own (who doesn’t!) please bring it to the course and you can incorporate it into your handle. But if you don’t have a special piece of wood you can choose from one of Joe’s pieces in the workshop.
This is a wonderful immersive workshop where you will have time to understand the process of Weaving and to go away with something you can be truly proud of.
Refreshments will be available to purchase on the day and also the option to stay over for those travelling further afield.
