Teaching
For me, loads of the joy of being a basket-maker is getting to pass on traditional skills and see people's faces light up as they discover or deepen their knowledge of this ancient craft
"I absolutely loved everything about the workshop. As soon as you walked in it was a calm, inviting atmosphere. Max really made the workshop. His teaching style was clear and patient, and his funny personality made the whole group feel at ease"
Upcoming Workshops...
More workshops...
- Friday 24th April, 1-4.30pm. This session will include a tour of the willow coppice in Carmunnock. We will learn about the ancient woodland management technique of coppicing and discover the huge variety of willow that grows there. We will have the opportunity to forage for willow to use in making our willow tensions platters. The willow weaving part will take place in Clarkson Hall a short walk from the coppice. Max will demonstrate how to make a willow tension platter which we will have 2.5 hours to do so. More info and booking here.
