Kelham Makes: Willow Leaf Basket Making

Spend an evening making a beautiful leaf-shaped basket from locally grown willow. 

Sheffield-based artist, teacher and woodland ranger, Rachel Hutton, will guide you in creating your own handwoven willow basket. You will use locally sourced, sustainable, willow to create a perfect small, elongated, fruit or gift basket. 

You will use traditional hand tools, techniques processes from an age gone at this hands-on, two-hour workshop. Learn how to tension your frame, weave in willow, and add in ribs as you weave to make your own beautiful and functional basket. 

This workshop is two and a half hours long and booking is recommended. All materials will be provided.
