Location: Cowshed Workshop, St. Michael’s, Tenterden, TN30 6TH

These courses are for absolute beginners and for people who’ve made a basket or two. They are held in a tranquil setting with nature all around us to fully reconnect and rewind. Full-day courses are £110, start at 09:30 and finish around 17:30.

 

What Can I Expect?

  • A relaxed time, immersing yourself in being creative with natural materials in a tranquil setting;
  • A basket made out of different varieties of Somerset basketry willow and hedgerow;
  • Step-by-step, easy to follow guidance from the start of your base until the finished product;
  • You will learn ancient basketry techniques and explore other projects with the same use of techniques;
  • Find out about cultivation and preparation of willow and hedgerow materials;
  • Learn how to use tools provided and what to use if you don’t have those tools at home;
  • Your lovely basket is made from 100% sustainable materials, the ethical, eco-friendly way; and
  • All willow, use of tools (if you don’t like using your own), teas, coffees, fruit and cakes are included. I advise people to bring a packed lunch.

It’s a fantastic time to spend with friends, but also really refreshing to share with like-minded people you’ve not met before.

Courses are kept to a maximum of 6 participants per project.

Basket weaving is very therapeutic, as you are using head, heart and hands, bringing body and mind back in sync. Working in a group allows you to share experiences, bounce off ideas, so it’s also a great way to build new friendships. Does wonders for both body and mind.

 

Is this for me?

Over the years, people with disabilities, or arthritis were still able to weave a basket. Not quite sure about your abilities, then just get in touch and I will assess to see whether it’s for you.

 

Locations

I try to organise the courses in rural locations; on farms for instance. This way, we have the benefits of nature around us to fully reconnect and rewild.

Please contact me for a more tailored experience.

Please note: A minimum of four delegates is required to run this course.  Should bookings not reach the minimum number this course may be rescheduled. Please book your course a two weeks before the course date to allow for the preparation to take place.

Directions: Please note! The postcode is TN30 6TH, but this covers 6 dwellings, so I would advise to switch off your sat nav once on the lane and please look for the black sign that says Brook Farm Oast at the top of the drive as you come down the drive, take the fork to the left, which brings you to the barn and oast house behind the farmhouse. You park behind the oast house on the left hand side of the barn, which is the Art Barn, where we will be working. Do call, should you get lost, on 07775 944499.
