September 2025 Half day Willow Tray Workshop
September 2025 Half day Willow Tray Workshop
Join me during Artwave 2025 at the beautiful Gun Brewery Taproom near Chiddingly, East Sussex for an introduction to Willow Basketry.
I will be teaching participants how to make a medium Willow and Hazel Tray.
You will learn a variety of basketry processes used in Willow work, whilst making your own beautiful tray/serving platter to take home. Starting with a pre formed Hazel hoop you will learn simple weaving technique to fill the tray, these woven pieces will then be bound and secured using a technique called pairing. Both brown and white willow will be available for you to use during this workshop, allowing you to create a tray to suit your own style.
Whether you are completely new to basketry, or have made a handful of baskets, this workshop is suitable for you. Weaving is a physical process and reasonable hand strength is required.
