Hedgerow Baskets - One Day | New Date Added! Friday 3rd May
1 Day Course
Time: 9 am - 5 pm
Venue: Mollie’s Studio, Hurst Barns, Hurst Lane, Privett, Alton GU34 3PL
Start your weaving year with this fantastic course. This day is a celebration of the many plant materials growing in our hedgerows, woodlands and gardens which we can use to make frame baskets of great beauty.
A truly sensory course, working with natural hand-foraged materials such as willow, dogwood, ivy and hazel. Each material has its own unique property, texture, smell and colour and with the patient, expert tuition from Mollie you will go home with a beautiful woven frame basket.
Please note, the October course is a slight variation to the Hedgerow Basket. At this time of year, plenty of willow is available, English rush and a little of last year’s hedgerow harvest. The construction and techniques used to make the basket are exactly the same.
Please see below for further information on this course.
