The Hayes Conference Centre, Hayes Lane, Swanwick, Alfreton, UK
Frame baskets were often rustic looking baskets made by farmers or travellers for foraging and harvesting.
Frame baskets start with a hoop for the rim of the basket, this can be any shape or size. Ribs are then attached to create form which enables the basketmaker to design their own shape and style of basket.
On this course you will learn how to create a balanced and shapely frame basket, from a small egg collecting basket to a foraging basket with a lid and leather handle.
Suitable for all levels
