(D) Willow Basket Weaving, (basket with handle),Sun 9th Mar,10:30am

Basket with Handle

Willow Basketry is a skill that our ancestors would have passed down throughout history, with willow baskets being used throughout Ireland for any number of tasks. They are the original eco, reusable shopping bag well before plastics came into being.

The tutor is Kate Burrows of Westcountry Willows, who after training in Somerset in the UK some 10 years ago, has continued to increase her basket-making skills and knowledge, alongside teaching many people this heritage craft.

This class is a one-day workshop that will last about 5 hours, throughout which Kate will teach you to make your very own basket with a handle and will cover all the basics. At the end of the day, you will be able to take your basket home, which you can treasure for a lifetime.
