What's on
Ose Basket Two-Day Workshop
By Sarah le Breton
Both practical and beautiful, make a lovely Ose basket at this two day workshop with willow weaver Sarah le Breton. Also known as a Gathering, Hen or Skye basket, Sarah has developed the size and shape of this frame basket so that this advanced basket can be successfully achieved in two days.
Under the expert tutelage of Sarah, learn how to make willow hoop frames, construct a basket with willow hoops and ribs pack the weave symmetrically and how best to “flow” with the willow weavers and create your basket. You will also learn grow to grow, harvest and prepare your willow ready for weaving.
Having been 2025 Maker in Residence at Kelmscott Manor, (the home of William Morris and his family in Oxfordshire), Sarah is offering a willow weaving experience at this inspiration location.
Ability: Best for those who have already made willow baskets.
Please note that whilst light refreshments will be provided, you will need to bring your own packed lunch on both days of the workshop. Maximum 8 participants. £240.00 all materials included.
Location: Held in the South Barn at Kelmscott Manor.
