Willow handbag / shoulder bag

Description

Make a handbag or shoulder bag using beautiful natural coloured willow and weaves. The handbag will have a hazel or a driftwood handle and the shoulder bag a leather strap. There will be a range to choose from on the day or you can bring your own. You will be using a pre-prepared base which will give you the time and space focus on control of shape/form and producing accurate and aesthetically pleasing weaves. At Ecclesall Woods we pride ourselves on the high-quality teaching from our tutors and our low class numbers (max 6 for most classes) and a number of our courses also have an assistant. We have found that smaller class sizes are more productive, un-rushed and allow students to learn more.

What's included in the price?

All materials and tool use are provided for you on the day. Refreshments throughout the course. Please bring a packed lunch, notebook and pen. PPE is available where applicable. Cafe on site doing light lunches Thursday-Sunday. All green woodworking courses are based outside.

As the situation changes we will suspend / re-introduce courses as applicable.
