Asymmetric Border Baskets

WEDNESDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER, 10AM-4PM

Learn to make an intermediate basket with an asymmetric border with Noah Kennedy.

On Norah’s course you will learn many more traditional basket making techniques and discover some interesting new words like slath, slewing, randing and wale.

All materials and tools are provided, but if you have a favourite sharp pair of secateurs and a strong penknife do bring them along.

There will also be books and photographs for you to browse through and worksheets which you can take home.

This workshop is aimed at participants who have some experience in basket weaving and would like to continue learning and extend their skills, however it is suitable for beginners who may not have any previous basket making experience.

“I make baskets to order that “are right in themselves and good for use”. I am interested in reviving some of the many traditional uses for willow that have been forgotten in an age of synthetic materials.” Norah Kennedy
