- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 12 Jul, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Handwoven Willow Garden Trug — Two-Day Workshop
Create a beautiful, functional garden trug from scratch using traditional willow weaving techniques. Over two full days, you'll learn to weave a classic garden trug measuring 18.5" long × 10" wide × 8" high — sturdy enough for harvesting vegetables, gathering flowers, or carrying tools around the garden.
This workshop is perfect for both newcomers to basketry and experienced weavers looking to expand their skills. You'll work step-by-step through the complete process, using a pre-formed hoop frame, to fill-in the sides and add a handle, guided every step of the way.
All tools and willow materials are provided — just bring yourself and a willingness to get your hands a little sore!
By the end of the weekend you'll head home with a handmade trug that's as practical as it is beautiful, plus new techniques and a community of fellow makers to keep you inspired.
