Description
This is a new 1-day small willow shoulder bag workshop – based on our popular 2-day large shoulder basket workshop. Some previous experience would be beneficial.
11am – 5pm ish
Come and weave your own oval-based basket with a selection of our own and Somerset willow – a perfect size for a day out. You can complete the basket with 2 handles or a shoulder strap – not included in the price. Leather straps are an additional £8 (thin) or £12 (thicker with buckle suitable for shoulder strap) or you can bring your own.
What you will learn:
How to weave the Catalan-style base using a pre-formed hoop and turn up the sides
How to weave the sides with a selection of weaves – 3-rod wale, French rand
How to weave a border to finish the basket
