What you'll do
The day will start with a walk in the beautiful hills to gather some of the materials we will then weave. Students will use a variety of seasonally available plants including wild ivy, moss, grass or blackberry to create a unique basket to take home.

Jeanette
I came to basketry through an interest in woodland management and heritage crafts, focusing on weaving in 2015 with a 2 year formal training at City Lit College, London. Here I studied many techniques, but have most recently been exploring the possibilities of plants growing local to the Dyfi Valley, having moved here in 2016. I work with moss, grass and bark alongside more traditional willow techniques to create vessels I hope are both useful and beautiful. I love sharing this unique way of connecting to environment through hands on workshops.
