Weaving Asymmetrical Baskets

Additional information

24th & 25th September 2026

Date

£250.00

This two-day course offers the chance to explore a more expressive, sculptural form. An asymmetrical basket allows the maker to respond to the material, creating a piece that feels organic, individual, and full of movement.

Over the two days, you can choose to keep things simple with strong, straightforward weaves, or incorporate more refined techniques such as borders, texture changes, and decorative details. The course is structured to suit a range of abilities, with plenty of guidance to help you find the right balance between ambition and enjoyment.

This is a deeply satisfying course for those who want to develop confidence, creativity, and a stronger relationship with the material.
