During the course, you’ll be introduced to the basic tools and techniques of willow weaving. You’ll learn how to make and connect a pair of wreaths to act as the basket frame, and then add ribs to weave around. No previous experience in willow weaving is needed – frame baskets are a great project for beginners, as once you get started you can really get into the flow of the weave. The group size is limited to 8 people to ensure everyone can get plenty of support.
