Lechlade Craft Barn, Orchard House South, Downington, Lechlade GL7 3DL

Join us for a lovely day at this traditional willow weaving workshop with Kelly to make a traditional and functional framed basket with a handle.

Some of you may already know Kelly for her popular Bookbinding workshops at the barn. She has been teaching willow weaving for several years and we are delighted she is now bringing her workshops to us.

At this workshop, suitable for beginners you will:
- will learn to use a basic weaving technique, learn more about other willow weaving techniques and vocabulary
- choose from a variety of different coloured willow to make your basket unique to you
- learn how to look after and care for your willow
The joy of this type of basket is the natural material used, if maintained properly it can be used for many years.

You will go home with your very own basket ideal for picking and displaying fruit, foraging, or general use.

Cost: £85 to include tea, coffee and biscuits
Materials: there will be an extra charge on the day payable to the tutor for the willow between £10-20.
Please bring: lunch and secateurs.
