I started learning how to make willow baskets in 2020 with Anna Liebmann in Edinburgh. My passion was ignited and I couldn't get enough of weaving from then on. I did some more classes with Anna, as well as with Eddie Glew, Anna Turnbull and Hanna van Aelst in Ireland. In 2022 I went to the Westhope College City and Guilds Level 2 in Basketry, which I completed in June 2023. I was also lucky enough to be a regular student of the PACC basket weavers intermediate class, formerly tutored by Pen Wilson, Katie Warner, and Sandra Scholes. I offer one to one or two tuition, basket workshops of up to 10 people, demos. I occasionally get the chance to make my own baskets to sell too!
I teach one to on or twos, or group workshops of up to 10 depending on what I am teaching. I love teaching, and you will be very welcome to come and learn with me! Just get in touch. I teach round work at the moment. If you would like to book a workshop or one to one/two, email me on greigjilly@gmail.com
