Willow Basket Making Workshop

Yapton Village Hall, Main Road, Yapton, BN18 0ET

Spend the day learning how to make your own round-base willow basket with James.

This hands-on workshop is suitable for complete beginners, so you don’t need any previous basket-making or willow-weaving experience. James will guide you through each stage of the process as your basket takes shape.

What You’ll Learn

During the workshop, you’ll learn how to:

Make the base of your basket
Stake the uprights
Set the uprights ready for weaving
Use French randing, a traditional basket-weaving technique
Create and finish the border
Make and attach a handle to your basket

By the end of the day, you’ll have experienced the process of making a willow basket from start to finish, and your finished basket is yours to take home.

What’s Included

All the willow and tools you’ll need are provided.

Tea, coffee and a small snack will also be available during the day. As this is a full-day workshop, please bring some lunch with you.
