Square Willow Basket Making - 2 day course

This 2 day course is a great opportunity to come and learn how to make a square shopping basket. You will get the opportunity to learn how to choose and prepare the correct willow, make the base for the basket on a frame 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 – 9th and 10th November, 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.
