Basketmaking workshops
Willow basketmaking
Private tuition.
The sessions I offer are for two people to learn the basics of traditional English and modern contemporary basket making from my workshop in Southwick, Wiltshire.
Workshop sessions run from 9:30 am to 4pm (approx.) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the year , usually i prefer to run a workshop once a week until midsummer when it becomes too hot( some years!)
As I prefer to keep my sessions small, this allows you to choose what you would like to make (within reason), I’m sure you are going to be pleased with the basket you have made on the day.
The workshops are suitable for complete beginners and for more advanced basketmaking .
I will honour the purchase for 12 months from date of transaction.
Basket making workshop reviews.
Great course ,very calm and easy going and welcoming teacher, nice paced class, we were both happily with the baskets we took home.
Geoff was very knowledgeable and friendly. A great and helpful coach. We both loved the workshop. Thank you.
A very enjoyable day. Geoff really knows his stuff. He was patient and encouraging. I love the basket I made.
A friend and I had the most fantastic day learning basket making with Geoff. We were taught all the techniques from selecting the right materials to the different ways of weaving and adding beautiful decorative touches. To say we were beyond thrilled with our baskets would be an understatement. Geoff was so knowledgeable and patient and made the whole experience so much fun. Highly recommend!
