A one day course, with artist and maker Sara Abbott - £85
The Honourable Harvest Basket.
The ancient and yet simple design of frame baskets is found throughout the world and throughout time. Working with willow and foraged materials, this one day course will connect you to your ancestors and will leave you with the knowledge to carry on using the pattern in your own creative practice. It is a perfect entry into the craft of basket weaving yet also a strong foundation for artworks too.
Sara has been making baskets for ten years alongside other artistic disciplines. She will guide you, weaving in amongst her teaching, the notions a simple basket can have in these Anthropocene days. And that by using such baskets for their original purpose, we can all strive to use them to Harvest Honourably, whether in shops or in the wild.
The day will start at 9.30am. A simple vegan lunch being provided at 1pm. There will be hot/cold drinks and biscuits available throughout the day. We should finish at 4:30pm
We will be working inside a beautiful warm yurt, and also outside if the weather is good. Please wear old, comfortable clothes suitable for the weather, although you will be warm and dry inside the yurt. You will need to be able to work standing as well as seated and have mobility and strength in both hands. All materials and tools will be provided and you'll be going home with a basket.
There is limited parking on site, please request on site parking if you require it for mobility reasons. Precise location and parking information provided when booking.
The site has a couple of steps for accessing the toilet and also steps into the yurt.
