Come and join local basket maker Jane and learn how to make a lovely little strawberry picking basket. It is a friendly and welcoming workshop, where we learn together and explore the slow rhythm of weaving.

We will work together, with a pre-made basket base, and Jane will teach you to make a traditional stake and strand basket. Jane will help to finish off your basket with a neat woven boarder and handle.

The course cost £45 and booking is essential.
