  | Our Courses/Events by CategoryAll Willow craft courses are priced at £35 for a half day, £75 for one day and £130 for two days (unless otherwise stated) and include all materials, lunch and refreshments. All courses start at 10am and run through to either 1pm or 4pm. Times are flexible though - you won't be going home with an unfinished piece! Please wear appropriate clothing for your course as some are held outdoors or in work sheds using steamed or wet willow rods. All materials and tools required for your tuition will be provided and you take home anything that you make. Lunch and refreshments throughout the day are provided. With this in mind please can you advise us of any dietary requirements, allergies or disabilities that we should be aware of when booking to ensure that your day runs as smoothly as possible. If a course is full please contact us to show interest and we will try to put on another course if we have enough numbers. Likewise, if you have a group of six or more wanting to do a course all together then we would be glad to accommodate you. We need 6 or more on a course to make it viable for us to run so we reserve the right to cancel/change dates as applicable. We will move students to an appropriate course with their approval. Refunds or credit notes will be given if alternative dates are unsuitable. BasketryBeginners should expect to take home a round platter or fruit bowl. You need no previous experience to be able to achieve your first basket. Intermediates are also welcome as we can tailor the course to add handles and borders.
