6th & 7th June 2026.

Newport on Tay, Fife.

Spend two days with Donald and Karen Spy (Silverhare Baskets) making a traditional round willow basket.

This will be a relaxed but challenging weekend where participants will make either a traditional shopping style basket with a wrapped handle, a more unusual asymmetric basket with a natural wooden handle or a practical kindling basket with finger holes incorporated into the border.

Donald and Karen will help you through the various steps involved in making your own beautiful and unique basket. Willow is a wonderfully versatile and sustainable material. Selected varieties, coppiced, produce new rods every year suitable for basket making and other uses. We will be using a mixture of willow varieties; some grown and harvested in Fife and some commercially grown willow from Somerset.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and for those who have tried basketry already and want to develop their skills further.
