Weaving with the seasons- Winter (1day)

Please note that due to the time of year and the limitations of the weather, this is a ONE day course and not a full weekend.

When plants are dormant and the sap is low it is the perfect time to harvest vines and other woody materials. Learn how to magically turn brambles and ivy from misunderstood weeds into useful, respected and much loved basketry materials!

This course is part of a series of 4 spaced throughout the year. Each 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! 

You will leave the winter course with the confidence to identify and safely harvest and prepare willow, ivy and brambles.…
