Newburgh, Fife

Spend two days with Donald Spy Baskets making a traditional round shopping basket or an unusual asymmetric basket with a hazel handle. Donald will guide 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.

Contact Donald at d.spy360@gmail.com for more details. Cost is £160 for the two days with all tools, materials and refreshments provided.
