- Booking essential
Under the expert guidance of Navar Willow, you'll learn traditional weaving techniques to create unique pieces to take home.
Create your own stylish and sustainable willow handbag in this hands-on weaving workshop. Using natural willow and traditional basketry techniques, participants will learn how to weave a beautiful and functional handbag featuring a distinctive Catalan-style base and finished with leather straps.
Throughout the day, you will be guided through the process of constructing the base, shaping the sides, and weaving a strong, elegant structure suitable for everyday use. The addition of leather or faux leather straps (your choice) gives the finished piece a contemporary look while retaining the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional willow work.
