Description

Half-day Traditional basketry willow workshops ~ Pip Cottage offers basketry workshops including traditional basket making, living willow and sculpture. The workshop on Sunday 2nd February is a half day, and we will be weaving with willow to make small willow woven hearts and birds at the lovely Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington. Only one space available. Please scroll down and select 'all listings' to see other half day workshops we offer, across various venues, including Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington, Holden Clough Nurseries in Bolton By Bowland and Stanhill Methodist Church Hall in Oswaldtwistle Please use the 'message the tutor' button for more information and to find out more about the venue and what kind of basketry you can make on the date you are interested: 15th March willow obelisks, 29th March willow flower or tray, 6th April obelisk, 11th May mini sculptures, 11th October mini sculptures, 6th December Natural Christmas decorations. I demonstrate how to make the objects step by step and the workshops are suitable for beginners or the more experienced. Class numbers are small and relaxed so that everyone gains the skills to successfully make their own handcrafted woven objects. I have been teaching natural gardening and crafts for over 15 years and basketry and living willow since 2012 for various environmental organisations and more recently for my own business Pip Cottage. I was lucky enough to win a Heritage Crafts Association/NADFAS Award in 2016 to study traditional English Basket-making and will be passing these skills on at the workshops.
