Overview

Weave and unwind with local willow artist Jane Kelly, creating a small basket of your own

Weave and unwind on this course for beginners and improvers. By the end of the day, you will have created a beautiful small basket with variety of potential uses such as as a fruit bowl or bread basket.

No experience needed, but a degree of manual dexterity and finger strength is required to weave a small basket of your own.

Jane first learnt to weave with this wonderful, versatile natural resource as a volunteer host for Suffolk Wildlife Trust eight years ago and has been hooked ever since, running courses and extending her own repertoire.
