This relaxed, willow workshop is a great introduction to the tradition of Irish, willow weaving basketry.

Experienced local willow artist and crafter, Heather Mcdermott, will guide you through the various traditional willow weaves, and practical processes involved, using our own homegrown willow.

This willow is sown and grown as a coppice crop, and harvested annually in our very own Saille garden.
