Twined Baskets

In this workshop, create your own small "twined" basket using a soft fibre frame with a selection of leaves and reeds for twining. The workshop includes instructions in material preparation, setting up your frame, how to "twine" around the frame and the detailed steps to finish the rim of your basket. The day will include a wander nearby to identify suitable plants for weaving, as well as discussion on the history of traditional and contemporary basket making. 

Twined basket making has its challenges and while not essential, it is ideally suited to those with existing craft skills or those who have already attended the Stitched & Coiled basket making workshop.
