Willow Basket Making : 26th July 2025
Big Tree Society is delighted to be hosting a day of basket making this year with Karla Pearce.
Come and learn how to make your very own willow basket. Traditional willow basketry course covering all the techniques needed to produce your own first basket, which you can take home at the end of the day. Skills taught will include: pairing, staking up, upsetting, waling, randing, and trac border.
Suitable for beginners or as a refresher if you've done some weaving before.
All courses are run from our Buy Design Gallery garden courtyard. It was the old Dairy and Milking yard for the estate farm in years past. Working outside and under cover makes it a great setting and as a space for learning and enjoyment.
We ask all participants to bring lunch, warm working clothes and strong sensible footwear. We gather up at 9.30 for a cuppa, meet the others and get started by 10, working through til about 5. If you need suggestions for accommodation see here .
