Join MAKE Southwest Maker Member, Hilary Burns MBE for a two-day Framed Basket Weaving Workshop!
This type of basketry lends itself to many variations in form. It is essentially a hoop and rib construction, that can be simple or complex, depending on skill levels. Willow with the bark on, in natural colours, harvested from Hilary’s willow beds will be used and all tools required are provided over the two days.
This workshop is open to all abilities - though due to the use of sharp tools, is only open to adults (18+).
Please note that knives will be used during this workshop and strength will be required in the wrists and fingers.
Tickets include tuition and all necessary tools and materials for the two days workshop duration. It does not include lunch or accommodation.
