Basketry Taster for Beginners Workshop

Baskets have been made since the dawn of time, but it’s sadly a dying art in a lot of the world since plastics etc arrived. Revive a wonderful, useful art form by learning how to make your own amazing baskets.

In this 2-hour taster workshop you’ll make 2 of these neat and sweet little 4 inch / 10cm baskets, which will teach you some of the skills you’ll need to make bigger and more complex ones (coming in future workshops! 😁) This one has been turned into a large pincushion, but you can use them for anything you like. They are lovely to use as gift containers too – two gifts in one 😊
It’s a fun, inexpensive, addictive and hugely satisfying craft. You can even use free materials from your garden or the countryside.

You’ll learn –

• how to make a base
• shaping the sides
• adding decorative features
• making a sturdy rim
• adding new canes
• how to make your basket stand properly without wobbling

Everything is included –

• Cane in appropriate diameters
• use of tools (very few!)
• all tuition
• refreshments

All inclusive ~ £25.00 per person
