RIB BASKET WORKSHOP
*Sorry this class is full but get in touch if you’d like to go on a cancellation list or would like to do one in 2027.
———
If you’ve been following along on social media, you may have noticed that I’ve been revisiting rib baskets. This charming style of basketry is perfect for complete beginners as well as those with some weaving experience. For me, these baskets bring to mind wandering through summer fields, gathering eggs from the hen house, or collecting nuts and sun-warmed cherry tomatoes straight from the garden. A well as being perfect for all of the above, they’re practical, delightful, and quite simply, irresistibly cute.
My final workshop of 2026 will be held here in Nelson, and I’d love for you to join me.

Let’s make something beautiful together and add a little more whimsy to everyday life.
Beyond Baskets — A Foraged Fibre Art Workshop
I’m very excited for this one. Step outside tradition and into the realm of curiosity, material play, and pushing past the idea of what a basket or weaving should be.
There are no patterns to follow here. Just natural materials, and the quiet pleasure of shaping something with your hands. Together we’ll slow down, notice textures, follow natural curves, and discover how raw materials want to bend, twist, coil, or simply be.
Rather than completing one project we’ll make a few small pieces that will teach you the how- tos. We’ll look at some basic weaves, cordage, attaching pieces, looping, making frames and hoops, structure, tension, layering, and the expressive possibilities of raw, unprocessed materials that could sit comfortably in a gallery or your home.
Perfect for beginners, makers, and anyone curious about natural materials and organic form.
Leave with a unique piece that goes far beyond a basket.
