A new workshop at Myddfai using bark stripped from our own willow, there will be plenty of time to work closely with Justine to complete either a bark pouch or small square-to-round pot.
Times: 10am - 4.00pm.
£75 per person
An exciting new course for you to learn how to weave with willow bark, to make a delightful and handy little bag or basket.
On this Little Bark Bag or Basket course you will learn how to soak and cut the willow bark into different size strips and then weave into a base shape and secure with waxed thread.
You will then weave the sides, complete a border and add a strap to hang round you neck or on a peg. You can even make it the correct size to store your snips or pens.
You can decide if you would like to make the bark bag or square-to-round- bark basket – perfect for dried or fresh flowers.
You will then weave the sides, complete a border and add a strap for the bag.
We will also cover the best time of year to strip willow and how to best store the bark.
All materials and tools are provided.
Please feel free to bring a button, shells or any small trinkets that you would like to use as adornments.
This workshop is suitable for all abilities.
All tools and equipment will be provided. Places are limited to eight participants and must be booked in advance.
