Spend a creative day at Stanwick Lakes learning traditional willow weaving techniques. Learn core basketry skills while creating an impressive large willow flower – Perfect for walls, fences, patios, or interior displays.

This course is especially valuable for beginners who want to build confidence before moving into basketry.

You’ll start by making a traditional slath, just as you would when beginning a basket. Into this, you’ll weave the flower’s centre, gaining essential understanding of space, control, and tension.

From there, you’ll add petals in a style of your choice, braid a strong stem, and use a figure-of-eight weave to form expressive leaves.

This workshop brings together multiple foundation weaving techniques in one rewarding project – an excellent step towards more advanced work.

Parking is included in the ticket price.
