A full-day workshop so you can make and finish a beautiful work of art! By the end of this course, not only will you have gorgeous baskets or wall sculpture, but you will be confident in this basketry technique.
Join this fun-filled all-day workshop with weaving expert Catriona Pollard and learn the random weave basketry technique using the wonderful Bangalow Palm inflorescence. The basketry workshop is all about exploration and play – not perfection. Experience and explore sculptural basketry techniques and learn how to create something from found organic material just using your hands and imagination.
It’s a small class so you get hands-on tuition from expert weaver, Catriona Pollard. Materials included, but if you have access to Bangalow Palm inflorescence then bring it along. Once booked, I’ll give you preparation notes.
Suitable for beginners or intermediate weavers. If you’ve never done weaving before – perfect! You’ll love it and leave with a finished basket or sculpture.
This course is for you if:
  • You want to learn the ancient basketry technique of random weaving but don’t know where to start.
  • You don’t have any experience or want to further develop your weaving.
  • You’re looking for a fun, relaxing creative outlet, and an enjoyable way to spend your downtime.
