SPACES VERY LIMITED!
In this day-long workshop you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient craft of willow weaving.
We will learn to make a small ‘asymmetric’ basket with handle in the style of a Polish basketmaker.
In a friendly, supportive environment at Mynydd Llandygai, local basketmaker Karla Pearce will guide you through the process of weaving the base and some basic techniques for weaving the sides and folding down a border. We will talk about shaping your basket and the different ways you can add a handle. This will be a small class (maximum of 8 people) so there will be plenty of time for questions and small group support. If you have a piece of wood you would like to incorporate into your basket, please bring it along. There will also be a selection of wood available to choose from. All materials and use of tools are included in the workshop fee, £60.
