Autumn Workshop Series with The Artful Weaver
This autumn, I’m offering a series of five workshops exploring my favourite practice in soft fibre basketry. Each week we’ll dive into a different technique, giving you the chance to play with natural and recycled fibres while learning the foundations of this versatile art form. By the end of the series, you’ll have a solid grounding in basketry as well as your own collection of unique pieces.
The series includes:
- Coiling a Basket – using raffia or seagrass to learn this beautiful, accessible technique.
- Soft Fibre Basket with Recycled Cotton – exploring how to create structure and form with upcycled materials.
- Mariposa Stitch Wall Hanging – weaving raffia into a striking decorative piece.
- Twined Wall Hanging with Paper String – introducing you to twining, a traditional basketry technique with contemporary potential.
- Sculptural Basketry with Paper String – an introduction to my own freeform style of weaving, where baskets move into sculptural art.
Workshops can be booked individually, or as bundles:
- Coiling Bundle (2 classes)
- Twining Bundle (3 classes)
All materials will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
