Available spots


Class Description

Yes, here's your opportunity to come and make something, probably something that we, here at Welig have never even thought about. You will have two days to build a frame, special gig or former, or sort through potential materials. There is no limit on size or materials (although some willow needs to be in there somewhere!). Please note - Alison is NOT a basket maker. Backetry is a very different style of weaving willow and is very precise and skilled. Whilst some basic basketry may be included in your piece, you are likely to use a random weave as seen in the sculptures on this website, rather than basket weaves. You will have the opportunity to discuss, at length either in person or by phone, the creative form you wish to make. Alison will ensure that it is a) feasible b) we can find the right materials and prepare them for you c) you have the correct support to complete your item d) you have the space to be as creative as you like. Please remember you need to get this item home, so think about transporting it also please. Whilst outlined as being two days over a weekend, if you only want one day or want more sessions, just drop us a line at alison@welig.co.uk There will be a maximum of three projects being worked on, on this course however if two of you want to work together as partners on a piece, the second person will only be charged 50% of the days cost. These days require planning and will be costed by design and materials. Costs will start at £150 per 6.5 hour day of close supervision and support, and includes a scrumptious lunch and homemade bakes.
