About this Event
Adult Memory Basket Weaving Workshop
Weave willow, fabric scraps and memories into a beautiful, useful and unique basket.
Do you have lots of fabric scraps you don't know what to do with? Old dresses and pairs of jeans too worn out to mend any more but to special to throw away? Baby clothes? Come learn to weave them into a basket! We'll make a willow frame using material grown on the nature reserve, then use your scraps (and we'll have extra material on hand) to weave the middle of the basket. A lovely way to give old materials new life and learn an ancient skill at the same time. The session will take place in our bright education centre classroom overlooking the nature reserve. Hot drinks, biscuits and a slice of cake provided - please bring a packed lunch.
We are committed to keeping our visitors, staff and volunteers safe. Please DO NOT attend if you or your child are unwell, or testing positive for an infectious illness, such as COVID-19. Your consideration is hugely appreciated.
Please note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park, a few minutes walk from the centre.
