This workshop is a great opportunity to begin learning (or refresh your knowledge of) a set of fundamental techniques for soft materials basketry. We will be using soft river rush as our primary material, but the skills you learn are transferable to other plant materials including sedges, iris, bark fibre, reed mace and much more. Over the course of two days, we will look at check weave, pairing weave and plaiting, and you will leave with a beautiful water bottle holder or small rectangular bag.

I will be teaching some more complex projects later in 2023, so if you are new to weaving and would like to join me on an in depth course this could be a great place to start.

The workshop will take place in a spacious teaching yurt close to the river Dart, not far from the town of Totnes. It is accessible by car, or by bus from Totnes (ten minutes plus a twenty minute walk). Snacks and hot drinks will be available, but you will need to bring your own packed lunch.

Cost: £145 including materials
