Round Willow Basket Making - 2 day course

This 2 day course is a great opportunity to come and learn how to make a round shopping basket. You will get the opportunity to learn how to choose and prepare the correct willow, make the base for the basket and add in the ‘upset’. You will learn different weaving techniques for the sides of the basket and finish with a border and handle for the basket. By the end of the course you will go home with a really useful basket made from locally grown willow.
This course runs over 2 days – 19th and 20th October, 10 to 4pm on both days.
The workshops at LilyBoo have bought together people for a chat, to learn something new and there is always lots of laughter. Please note that the course is held upstairs, up a flight of steep steps but once there, you will have everything you need.
