Willow Weaving Workshop – Basket 1 SPACE REMAINING

Willow weaving has been practiced for thousands of years, with the earliest records in the British Isles dating back to the Mesolithic period. Historically, willow was valued not just for its flexibility and strength but also for its aesthetic qualities. Artisans learned to identify different types of willow and their unique properties, allowing them to create a variety of textures and patterns in their woven pieces.

This workshop will run on Saturday the 3rd of October, from 10.30 am to 4.30pm. All materials are provided and you will be able to take your finished woven basket home with you at the end of the workshop. Our workshops are suitable for all, from complete beginners to the more experienced.

Janice Burley from Down 2 Earth will be leading each session, bringing her expertise as a garden designer and willow weaver. She is committed to sharing her knowledge and skills to help others explore their creativity while working with natural materials. Join Janice for practical guidance and support as you develop your own projects.

The Vinehouse Cafe will be open from 10 am. You are also welcome to bring your own refreshments. Workshop admission entitles you to enjoy the garden for duration of your workshop date (gates close at 5pm).
