Workshop - Bread Basket Workshop
Date/Time - Sat 28th February , 10-5:00pm
Join me and learn the traditional heritage craft of willow weaving in the magnificent surroundings of Castle Coole in a cosy room in The Grand Yard.
In this workshop I will guide you how to make your very own basket that can be used for bread or fruit or anything you fancy. It will look great as part of any table setting. You will learn traditional weaving techniques to construct your basket. We will first weave the base of the basket, then stake up, then weave the sides where we will create incorporated handles. We will then finish off with a beautiful border. I will guide you through each step with easy to follow instructions in a fun relaxed atmosphere. You will have a great day in a wonderful setting learning an ancient craft and having your own crafted willow basket to take home with you.
Cost £75pp. Includes all materials and refreshments. Tea, coffee and biscuits.
