Willow Handbag or Shoulder Bag
This one day course is the perfect introduction to basketry, or development from a beginner’s course, and you will go home with a stunning willow handbag or shoulder bag made from beautiful willow and incorporating a variety of weaves and basketry techniques.
Woking from a pre drilled wooden bottom the difficult job of ‘upsetting’ (putting in the upright stakes evenly spaced) the basket is already done for you. You don’t see the base and those of you keen to develop your sills may wish to add a foot border later in the day. You will spend the day learning weaves and finish off with a delicate border and then decide to add a leather strap or hazel handle.
Please note you need some level of manual dexterity in your fingers.
