About the event

Weave and unwind on this course for beginners and improvers, perfect for a Mothers' Day treat! By the end of the day, you will have created a beautiful small basket with a variety of potential uses, from foraging and gardening to holding yarn.

No experience needed, but a degree of manual dexterity and finger strength is required to weave a small basket of your own.

Jane first learnt to weave with this wonderful, versatile natural resource as a volunteer host for Suffolk Wildlife Trust eight years ago and has been hooked ever since, running courses and extending her own repertoire. 

Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided. The café will be open from 10am-4pm, serving savoury food and sweet treats.
