Thursday 5th December 2024 | 6:30-9pm | GCHT, 54 Bell Street, G1 1LQ

Join Max Johnson Basketry for weaving and mince pies at this cosy festive event! Max is a longtime forager, foodie and crafter, who lovingly weaves baskets & decorations using materials found in a range of landscapes, from idyllic rural riversides to derelict post-industrial sites.

People have been weaving with willow for at least 10,000 years. Using ancient willow basketry techniques with a modern twist, you’ll make both a reindeer and a Christmas tree to take home in this fun festive workshop. 

This session is suitable for beginners, no weaving experience necessary. All equipment, materials and refreshments provided.

£30 per person
