Willow 2 Day English Round Basket Workshop with Sarah Le Breton

A two-day willow weaving workshop where participants make an English stake-and-strand round basket under maker Sarah Le Breton.

Over two days, participants create a decent-sized English stake-and-strand round willow basket — either a willow shopper or a medium log basket. Techniques taught include an underfoot tied slath base, English randing and a Somerset handle, plus how to grow, harvest and prepare willow for weaving. Suitable for beginners and those with some experience, with a maximum of six participants; materials, tools and refreshments are provided, with an optional homemade lunch for £12.50.
