13th-14th June: Weave an oval garden trug workshop, Blanefield

Join me at my yurt-workshop in Blanefield to weave your very own garden trug. This is a 2-day class, and because oval bases are slightly more difficult than round ones, the workshop is only suitable for those who have woven a few round baskets already.

We'll cover how to weave a 'continental' oval base, 4-rod waling skills, French randing, using packing to create a swooped shape, and wrapped handles.

The class will run from 10am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday 13-14th June, 2026. My workshop is just outside of Strathblane/Blanefield, which is 30 minutes North of Glasgow. I will provide tea and coffee, please bring a packed lunch with you.

'I loved the workshop! Max had a really good teaching style and he made sure everyone was following what he was conveying, but he was really relaxed about it and helpful where it was needed. I found it incredibly enjoyable, surprisingly relaxing and hugely rewarding.'

'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'
