Willow Oval Laundry Basket Two Day Course with Joe Gregory – Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd March 2025

Time: 10am-4.30pm price: £190

Learn t0 weave on this immersive two day willow oval laundry basket course.

This is a great course to work on a larger basket and develop your basket making skills. If you are competent at English round basket work you can weave an English oval base, otherwise you will work on a Catalan base to make this achievable for you.

English Oval basketry is a progression on from round baskets and you will need to understand a round before making an English oval. A Catalan base is a simpler design that will still give a great looking basket.

You will work with a number of different weaves to create a useful basket that will be used regulalry and will last many years using the finest English Willows.

With many years teaching experience I will be able to guide you to create a really strong and pleasing laundry basket design. If you have any questions over the two days around growing willow and various different basketry techniques I will be more than happy to pass on that knowledge.

The Willows tea and coffee house on the ground floor of the building will be open during the course to purchase the finest ethical rainforest alliance coffees and teas, cakes and simple savouries to keep you going if you wish.
