Description
Come and make your very own willow berry basket! On this one-day basket making course, participants will learn how to make a functional willow basket that will last for many years to come. We’ll show you how to form the base, add the uprights, weave the sides and add a handle. This workshop is aimed at beginners. Reasonable hand strength and mobility is required. People with arthritic hands may struggle with this full day course, however, we’re happy to give a hand to anyone who might need it. All tools and materials are included in the price. You get to keep the basket you make.

We have two composting toilets on our site. They work just the same are regular toilets, just with a scoop full of sawdust down the loo, instead of a flush. There is a separate urinal, too.
