Basketry Courses

We run regular basket making courses in St Austell, suitable for complete beginners and those who want to progress and develop their skills.  

BASKETRY FOR BEGINNERS

These courses are a lovely introduction into basket making and are suitable for complete beginners. Making your own basket is hugely satisfying and very relaxing and therapeutic. Participants are shown how to weave with a selection of different willow using a variety of different traditional techniques.

All courses are held at Pinetum Park & Pine Lodge Gardens, St Austell.

All courses start at 10.00 am and finish at 4.30 pm and cost £40, which includes all the tools and materials required. Tea, coffee, biscuits and cake are provided, but you’ll need to either bring a packed lunch or adjourn to the fantastic tea-room in the gardens.
