About the event
Under the tuition of 2 experienced basket makers, you will learn some basic skills and techniques of willow weaving whilst creating beautiful swifts and swallows for to take home. We’ll be incorporating freshly harvested willow grown locally by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.
This workshop is suitable for beginners, so no previous experience is necessary. However, some manual dexterity will be required and people with limited strength in their hands may find this weave tricky. All materials and tools will be provided.
Tea and coffee will be provided during a short break in the workshop.
Please note that your booking is non-refundable and non-transferable and we run all our courses based on a minimum number of participants. You can find our full Terms and Conditions here.
