In this one day beginners adult workshop you will create a beautiful berry basket, or foraging basket, while learning how to weave a round 3×3 base, upstake and weave up the sides of your basket using various weaving techniques, turn down the uprights to make a border and attach a handle. A choice of buff and brown willow will be available for the various parts of the basket.
