We are delighted to bring you this Basket weaving workshop with Nick Vane.
Nick is a basket maker with fifteen years experience of teaching groups both in supported-living and recreational pop-up workshop settings.
You will follow traditional methods which will include an introduction to the materials, tools, techniques and safety aspects so that basketry can become the beginning of a new hobby.
The group will be small so that one to one tuition can be given as necessary and all the tools etc will be available for use.
Please wear old clothes or bring an apron, as working with willow can get a bit wet! We'll provide all the materials and tools you need, and Alison from The Oast Bakery will keep you fuelled with teas, coffees and her delicious freshly baked treats.
During this workshop you will learn:
How to select and prepare willow
Safe use of basketry tools
How to make a round basket including
Pairing the base
Staking up the sides
A variety of basic weaves
How to finish a border
Basketry jargon
