Berry basket course

This course is perfect for those who want to have a go at adding a handle to a basket. As well as weaving the base, staking up the basket, weaving the sides and turning down the border you can then add a handle. You will end up with a beautiful basket to pick fruits from the hedgerows. This basket can be challenging so it may be a good idea to try a garden trug or round basket before attempting this basket.
You will have a wonderful day in a beautiful setting learning an ancient craft.

This course is £95 and will be held between 10:00am and 6:00pm in Nantgarw China Works Museum, Cardiff.

All materials and tools are provided and you take home everything you make. Please bring any refreshments, snacks and a packed lunch with you.
