Guernsey basket Ponier à cou course, 24-26 Jan 2025

Join Claire Gaudion for a ponier à cou Guernsey basket making course in Over Wallop, near the Hampshire-Wiltshire border. The course will run over 3 days: Starting Friday 24 Jan, 2-4.30pm, and Saturday 25 – Sunday 26 Jan, 10am-4.30pm.

All materials and tools will be provided. Delicious refreshments including teas and coffee and a light lunch will be complimentary. Feel free to bring your own if preferred. This will be a small group of just 3-4 people, allowing for plenty of attention for each participant.

We will be working mostly indoors in my workshop, with a short outdoor session, under shelter if raining! Making a ponier à cou involves working with wood, wire and willow and a selection of hand held tools, and strong hands. That said, it is suitable for beginners or those with willow experience. You will go away with a wonderful hand made basket.

The cost is £230 per person.
