About the event

Join a small group to craft a beautiful and unique basket from locally foraged materials. Willow, bramble, iris leaves… You'll learn basic weaving techniques as well as getting to know some different materials and how you can harvest and prepare your own in the future. No previous experience necessary. Suitable for over 18s.

The course will be based in our lovely education centre classrooms, with the option to take a walk around the reserve at lunchtime and spot some of the plants you are using growing in the wild. (In warm weather we can take our weaving outside too.)

Hot drinks and biscuits provided. Please bring a packed lunch.

We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.

Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.
