Weaving with the seasons - Autumn (2days)

Grasses and leaves which have finished their growth for the year can now be cut and dried ready for Autumn projects! Join me in the woods to learn how to sew soft materials into beautiful pots and bags using the traditional basketry techniques of coiling and plaiting, and go home with two unique baskets. This course is part of a series of 4 spaced throughout the year.  Each weekend course we will work with the seasons to learn how to forage, prepare and work with a variety of wild materials using a range of traditional and innovative basketry techniques. The courses will open your eyes to the craft possibilities that exist in every garden, hedgerow, riverside, bog and wasteland! There is the opportunity to camp at the Centre with access to kitchen, w.c. and shower. There is a small charge of £5 per person/per night. A simple mid-day meal will be provided each day. This can be booked as a stand alone course, or if you book on all four courses you will get a discount of £40 for this, the last, course of the year.
