Basket Weaving - with Mel Bastier

We wove some wonderful willow baskets for our February workshop. It was very popular, the places filled so quickly and there was a waiting list. Everyone who took part were unanimous in their enthusiasm.

The tutor Mel Bastier from ‘Out To Learn Willow’ provided all the materials and tools required. It was surprisingly hard on our hands, but we all managed to go home with a finished basket, all were very individual as you can see from the photos. 

Quotes from attendees on the day:

“It amazes me how the technique of weaving can be applied to different materials”. 

 “A challenge, but good fun and tricky to get into considering we can weave”. 

“Fabulous. Really enjoyed it.”
