Join us for a creative day with Tabara of La Basketry and create a beautiful and useful basket bag unique to your style. 

Tabara will teach your small group the intricacies of weaving a basket bag using centre cane - one of the most popular basketry techniques and materials in the world. Using methods learnt in her native Senegal she’ll encourage you to get your hands dirty - quite literally as the workshop will involve soaking, bending and reshaping the cane.
