Willow Weaving Workshop: Make Your Own Hanging Basket
29 June 2025 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
£50 – £65
Come along and enjoy a day of creativity, learning the traditional craft of willow weaving! In this 5 hour workshop you will master weaving techniques and make your very own hanging basket which you can take home at the end of the day.
Willow weaving is a traditional method for making all kinds of beautiful baskets and containers using natural materials. There are many varieties of willow and many different coloured stems or ‘rods’. The different coloured rods add an extra layer of decoration to your willow weaving allowing you to weave different coloured patterns into your baskets.
In this workshop you will learn the traditional method of willow basket weaving but with a twist. The basket will have a pointy base to transform it into a beautiful hanging basket.
Hanging baskets can make an attractive addition to any garden, entranceway, front door or courtyard space, and can be planted up with edible or ornamental plants including our trailing bush tomatoes, Tumbling tom yellow and Tumbling tom red which will be on sale at our shop.
All material and tools provided.
