Private Tuition

I offer private willow basketry workshops for individuals and small groups from my workshop in Cornwall — a wonderful opportunity to learn willow weaving in a relaxed and creative setting.

Much of the willow used in the workshop is grown here in my own withy beds, giving you the chance to work with beautiful natural materials at the heart of the craft.

If you’re looking for a basket weaving course or willow weaving workshop in Cornwall, private tuition offers a flexible and personalised way to learn the craft.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, I’ll guide you through the process step by step. You might choose to make your first basket, develop new techniques, or focus on a particular project. Each session is tailored to you, allowing you to work at your own pace while building confidence and skills.

Many people choose to book as a pair — it’s a lovely way to spend a creative day together while learning a traditional craft.

What to Expect

Workshops take place over a full day in my workshop in Cornwall, where you’ll work with beautiful willow — much of it grown here in my own withy beds.

You’ll spend the day immersed in the rhythm of weaving, surrounded by bundles of willow and the tools of the craft.

You’ll be guided through the basketmaking process, learning traditional techniques while creating a unique basket to take home at the end of the day.
