Join local basketmaker, Karla Pearce, for an introduction to stake and strand basketry. Karla will gently guide you through the process of making your own berry basket in a friendly, supportive environment.
You will learn how to:
* Create a slath and weave a base;
* ‘join rods’
* Insert side stakes and upsett them;
* Use waling as a weaving technique;
* Weave the side of your basket, creating shape/form;
* Lay down a simple trac border and insert a pegged handle
You will take home a beautiful useful basket that will last for many years! This is a great way to start weaving, but also a good opportunity to consolidate if you have made a round basket previously.
Cost £60
