On this one day workshop, you will be guided by Sarah to create a Zarzo Flower Basket - a modern interpretation of a traditional Spanish basket, creating a sculptural yet functional piece for everyday life. The course aims to give a gentle introduction to the wonderful material of willow, whilst allowing you time to enjoy the mediative qualities of the rhythmical weaving patterns involved; a perfect choice for anyone new to willow weaving or for those who are looking to step away from the busy world to experience the calming processes that basketry can offer. Weaving in a small group of 6-8 people, there will be plenty of guidance from Sarah, along with time to learn a little more about how willow is prepared ready for weaving before ending the day with a basket made by your own two hands.
