Basket Weaving Workshop

Spend the day making a small, round, stake and strand basket using willow. Learn traditional techniques including pairing, waling, randing, slyping and how to finish the basket with a rod border. Basket weaving dates back thousands of years and recent excavations suggest that tools and techniques have remained remarkably similar. Well-known local tutor Sue Kirk has 15 years basketry experience and uses Somerset and locally-grown willow. Lunch is included.
