The 12-week course will focus on developing the weaving skills used in basket making, using willow and other natural materials. Angela Cole will run the weekly sessions. In true craft tradition, skills will be practiced and repeated, building confidence and ability. All learning will be through practical making with a garden theme including giant flowers, bird feeders and a simple basket towards the end of the course. No experience necessary, all tools and materials provided. Sessions will be outside whatever the weather, so it will be important to dress appropriately.
