Weave a Country Basket
Join us at Flatford Mill and weave a country basket. This new workshop is an introduction to traditional basketmaking.
You will be using English willow and historic basketry methods to create a wonderfully rustic basket. You will weave willow into a traditional round basket, learning about the tools and materials commonly used in basketry and acquiring the skills you need to try your hand at home. You can choose between a basket without a handle, great for storing fruit, kindling or craft supplies or, if time permits, add a handle and fashion a unique basket for carrying your bits and bobs home with you.
Refreshments are included, but please bring lunch with you.
