A summary
In this workshop we’ll be kindling curiosity for willow weaving by exploring the first steps in basket making. Using pre-made wooden bases, we’ll be creating small, simple baskets using basketry willow. In our workshop we will look at: * the basic principles of basket making * buying, storing and preparing basketry willow * other natural materials that can be used for basketry * how to introduce basket making to children * some traditional basket making techniques including wailing, randing and track borders As well as going home with a practical little basket, you’ll also be equipped with ideas of how to apply this process in your Forest school setting. The Coddiwomplers will also be open all weekend selling their willow goodies and offering drop in workshops.
