Join me for a two-day deep dive into traditional basketry and create your very own German-inspired log carrying basket. Ideal for fireside storage or hauling logs with ease. This sturdy, square-based basket blends strength with elegance and will serve you for years to come.
Over the course of the workshop, you’ll learn classic square basket-making techniques, using the finest English basketry willow in a relaxed studio environment. I’ll guide you through shaping, weaving, and finishing methods to ensure your piece is strong, balanced, and completely unique.
This course is perfect for those ready to build on beginner skills or take on a slightly more advanced, rewarding project. You’ll leave with a beautiful handmade basket, practical new skills, and the confidence to continue weaving independently.
Whether you attend solo or with a friend, it’s a focused and inspiring two days of craft, conversation, and creativity.
