Willow Basket Weaving Workshop. Friday 20th January 2023,10:00 am-2:00 pm

Willow Basketry is an ancient skill that has been around since at least 8000 BC. It is a skill that our ancestors would have passed down to their children and their children's children, with willow baskets being used throughout Ireland for any number of tasks. They are the original eco, reusable shopping bag well before plastics came into being.

The tutor for this workshop is Kate Burrows, who after training in Somerset in the UK some 8 years ago, has continued to increase her basket making skills and knowledge, alongside teaching many people this heritage craft.

This beginners class is a one day workshop that will last about 4 hours, over the course of which Kate will teach you to make your very own willow basket and will cover all the basics. At the end of the day you will be able to take your basket home, that you can treasure for a lifetime.
