As a tutor I am led by the maker-user school. Where baskets and woven items are used by the people that make them, and not for wider sale. So each mistake and imperfection adds to the story of the basket. My main aim as a tutor is to give participants confidence in using their hands and to share information about regional craft identity and basketry. Mostly working in Wales I occasionally offer courses in Scotland too.
