About the event
This workshop introduces you to the coiled basket, otherwise known as a ‘foragers’ weaving style, an ancient and versatile technique that is used worldwide with the materials adapting to the native area.Â
In this class you will be using a range of natural and coloured raffia and twine and be provided with a starter kit containing enough material to continue weaving at home as the addictive rhythm of the weave draws you in! If you would like to bring any extra materials to weave with (such as wool/fabric offcuts/plastic bags/natural materials) please feel free.Â
Directions and map can be found here. Please read and follow the directions carefully.
