Create Little Coiled Baskets: 1 Day Workshop

Little Coiled Baskets with Fiona Hammond

Saturday 24 August: 10am-4pm
Suitable for All Skill Levels, ages 16+

Discover the simple yet effective craft of coiling—using craft cord, colourful yarns and a sewing needle—as you create a small coiled item, such as a small bowl, basket or flat object.

This workshop is a great way to begin your coiling journey – covering all you need to know to get started! It is for all skill levels, though a bit of experience using a needle and thread is an advantage.

The techniques covered can be used to create many other items, including jewellery!
