Overview
Spend a day in the pretty rural outskirts of York with a small group of like-minded people, learning to weave a pretty, round willow basket.
Di has been teaching basket weaving for 15 years and works you hard! We are one of the few courses in the country where you can make a fancy border in a one day course.
As she is also a foraging teacher Di will tell you about medicinal aspects of willow too, just don't try to eat your basket!

After lunch you will weave the walls using a different weave called three rod wale, then each student gets 1:1 tuition to complete their border, which takes about ten mins. You will do a fancy border that really finishes the basket off!
