It’s that time of year … Spring is in the air. Can you feel it?

During this willow and weaving session, tutor Jane Roberts is going to show you how to make these gorgeous little Easter baskets. They’re such fun to make and you should be able to create at least two during the workshop.

Just in time for Easter, decorated or filled with mini chocolate eggs or Easter biscuits. They make the ideal sustainable handmade gift or something to keep for yourself.

We will be using different materials including willow and other hedgerow foraging items and learn different wrapping and weaving techniques.

This workshop is ideal for beginners and those with some experience.

Come and enjoy a few hours in our beautiful space at Yardley Arts. Each person will have their own work-station so social distancing can be maintained.
