Introduction to Basket Weaving Start September 2026 (Fridays) The Old Dairy, Enham Alamein

By popular demand, an Introduction to Willow Basket Weaving Course.

 Over the course of 3 Friday sessions you will get a broader introduction to basket making than a stand alone, one day workshop. We will be talking about preparing your willow, learning techniques for round basket work and trying your hand at a number of different weaves, building on the previous week’s learning and adding something new each time. This course is designed specifically for beginners, you will be working in a very small group with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get help/support where needed. 

3 Sessions  -  2nd Friday of each month.  September 11th,  October 9th and November 13th 9:30am-4:30pm

Session 1 – introducing how to make a base and weave up the sides to create a shallow basket with a simple track boarder.

Session 2 – we will be putting together the skills we learned last week alongside a new weave and creating a larger round basket than last week, with a more complex boarder.

Session 3: a more challenging basket where we really need to think about the shape we wish to achieve, we will also be adding a wooden handle.

I will have some additional projects up my sleeve if we have the time at the end of any session.

Refreshments: kettle is always on, there will be a selection of tea/coffee/biscuits and or cake.

Lunch: The lovely folk at Oaktrack Small holding are happy to provide you with lunch, for an additional £10 each (pre order through Steph required), or I am happy for you to bring something with you. Please note, there is no facility to re-heat anything, so sandwiches/salad etc.
