Description

---

A perfect project for beginners and improvers. This sweet little basket is a great project. Fill with early berries, salad leaves or purse.

A warm welcome is waiting for you here at The Workshop in Whitley Bay. It's a light, airy, cosy space to come and relax and immerse yourself in the joy of willow weaving a Berry Basket. Late spring is abundant with early berries, herbs and salad leaves. Your beautiful handcrafted Berry Basket, made with local Northumbrian willow, is the perfect size to collect these seasonal jewels. Basket emptied, it's now a casual bag.

This workshop is ideal for a beginner who is looking to build their skills and interest in willow weaving. This workshop will give you the opportunity to learn the techniques of basket making, traditional weaves, a border and adding a handle, using the peg method.

Willow weavers with experience will have the chance to hone their skills, doming a base, basket surgery, fixing a handle with a 'peg'. It's very satisfying.

Please note this is very intense on your hands and fingers. If you have any problems, contact me to discuss a workshop that better suits you.
