Join me for a two-day workshop where you’ll learn to weave a handsome, strong, and highly functional willow backpack. This course is ideal for those with some weaving experience, and over the two days you’ll develop your skills through a variety of basketry techniques while creating a basket that’s built to last.
Perfect for foraging, shopping, or carrying heavy loads, your finished backpack will be not only practical but also beautifully crafted. To make it even more comfortable and versatile, we’ll use organic hemp straps to add adjustable, ergonomic carrying options blending traditional basketry with thoughtful modern design.
You’ll leave the course with new skills, a stunning finished basket, and confidence to take on future projects. Whether you come alone or bring a friend, this workshop is a rewarding, hands-on way to spend two creative days.
