Make a frame basket just like these by Martin Hazell
We are very pleased to announce that our good friend and ace basket maker, Martin Hazell, has agreed to lead a day’s tutoring at our farm in Upper Gravenhurst.
If you have a hankering to dip a toe into the wonderful world of basket making this is an ideal opportunity. Martin will guide you through the relatively simple process of making a ‘frame basket’ (just like the ones pictured to the left); a really good starting point for anyone new to working with willow generally and basket making in particular. Martin will also cover stuff about using, choosing and soaking willow.
Cost: £50 inclusive of materials
