Round Bottle Baskets
The traditional English round basket forms the basis for adding partitions to make a 4-bottled carrier ‐ either milk or wine bottles! This workshop is suitable for those with reasonable experience to ensure that your basket sides are truly vertical to allow the partitions to be attached correctly. We will focus on using English randing, exploring the different patterns that can be achieved from varying the over/under weave and perhaps adding some colour bands. The willow used is reasonably thick so that the resulting basket is plenty strong enough for the weight of 4 filled glass bottles.
All tools are provided but if you have your own, you are welcome to bring them along but please make sure that they are marked in some way.
All refreshments and lunches are included but please note the material charge of £25 for the prepared willow.
