Small Willow handbag basket weaving workshop

This is a new 1-day small willow shoulder bag workshop - based on our popular 2-day large shoulder basket workshop. Some previous experience would be beneficial.

Come and weave your own oval-based basket with a selection of our own and Somerset willow - a perfect size for a day out. You can complete the basket with 2 handles or a shoulder strap - not included in the price.
