Willow Weaving Workshop – Round Baskets
Join Karen Bek on this two day workshop to make a round willow basket. You will learn how to create all aspects of the basket – starting with making the base using a traditional English technique. You will stake up the base and add weavers to secure uprights, then weave the sides before laying down a border and adding a handle. You will also learn about how to select willows for basketry, how it grows, where you can buy supplies – and hopefully be inspired to continue on your weaving journey!
Tickets can be purchased directly from Karen’s website here.
Any questions, please contact Karen directly at bek_karen@hotmail.com
This workshop is suitable for beginners and improvers and all craft materials are included. On arrival please enter via the North Gates using the postcode NR23 1RH, our parking team will direct you to the Walled Garden. Meet at the Ticket Pavilion.
