What we'll do
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.

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
