Introduction to Making a Traditional Hen Basket
Rural Skills Centre
£110
Workshop Overview For my City and Guilds basketry course in 2019, I began looking at the hen basket for my traditional piece. I fell in love with the history surrounding it , extending from medieval times through to the current day. It has been referred to as a hoisting basket, an ose basket, a hen basket, a gathering basket, a Bardot basket and even a Skye basket. In school, it was my cookery basket! This introduction to making a hen basket workshop will take you through the process of making the framework and weaving the basket itself. It is a beautiful basket and a wonderful skill to learn.
