Foraging Basket Workshop

Come and spend a day in the woods, learning how to weave a traditional frame basket using hazel, willow and an assortment of hedgerow weaving materials.  

These frame baskets are fantastic for foraging wild foods. The woven structure allows your hedgerow harvest to breathe and the rigid frame offers protection as you roam through the woods.  Once you’ve mastered this particular basket you’ll realise that many different materials can be used in addition to traditional willow; clematis vine, honeysuckle, ivy, brambles, split hazel and even roots from coniferous trees meaning that you should be able to quickly knock up a useful basket from local materials in most outdoor environments you visit.

All tools, materials and hot drinks are provided, however please bring your own lunch and snacks.

This workshop is available to book for private groups of two or more people. Please get in touch to choose your own date

Please expect to be constantly busy on our craft workshops. To get as much as possible from your experience, please arrive fully prepared to work hard between the advertised start and finish times. Traditional crafts ask a lot from your hands, muscles and mind but the long term gains will be worth it!
