Description

The course starts at 10 am and we aim to finish by 17.30.

This workshop isn’t suitable for beginners, a little experience of working with willow is preferred.

The course will take place in my home in Dartington; address is: Littlewell, Higher Velwell Barns, Dartington, TQ9 6AD (if you use what3words – invented.annual.epidemics)

Please bring a packed lunch with you, I will offer refreshments throughout the day.

Please note that basket weaving can be hard on the hands and takes some focus, we should have time to complete the basket within the allocated time frame; depending on how your weaving goes, we can make simple adjustments throughout the day if we appear to be behind on the deadlines, everyone weaves at a different speed.

Please also note that I have a dog in my home, he is very friendly and a little jumpy initially but soon settles down.

Parking is available but limited, so please park with consideration for other vehicles on my drive in order for us all to fit in. There are a couple of places a the top of the lane if needed, I can show you on the day.

If for any reason you can’t attend the course, I will refund in full up to 7 days prior to the course (please let me know by the eve of the 13th April), but cancellations within the 7 day prior will not be refunded.

If you have any questions, please do ask before booking.
