Hi my name is Joe Gregory, I'm a willow basket maker and sculptor based in West Yorkshire. I started weaving as a hobby in 2004 and by 2008, I realised I could make a living doing a craft that I loved. Starting from my kitchen table to now owning a 5 storey Georgian building in the centre of Todmorden; weaving with Willow has provided me with the most rewarding career whilst enabling me to keep my family safe and healthy. I teach sculpture and basket making for everyone from beginners to more advanced weavers. I have also been lucky enough to teach internationally, as well as up and down the country. I've worked on some amazing projects over the years and feel very lucky to have found this beautiful craft. I am comfortable teaching children; beginners and more advanced weavers. Each class rewards me in different ways. I have been fortunate to teach those with different needs; from sight problems, to people returning from a stroke, to those with their own special needs. I am always happy to craft my class to suit everyone I teach.

Asymmetrical basket making courses - two days with Joe Gregory at Creative with Nature Todmorden Yorkshire
"My wife and I have just attended our first assymetrical basket making course with Joe. What a great experience. Joe's patience and skill were so good and we each left with a completed log basket. Would highly recommend Joe's course for anybody wanting to try out basket weaving for the first time."
"Very well run and enjoyable outdoor mosiac workshop at Creative with Nature run by Rachel. A lot of fun designing, cutting tiles and grouting. I was really happy with my finished piece. Lots of teacher instruction and support in a gorgeous workshop/cafe/creative hub. Fully reccomend this course and Creative with Nature!"
"Really enjoyed this course, learnt lots of new skills and went home with a lovely stained glass piece! The craft room and cafe are such nice spaces and Karl was a good instructor. Highly recommend :)"
"We really enjoyed this workshop with Rachael, and are very pleased with our mosaics!"
