An Autumn Weekend of Willow Weaving at
@thatchedfarmproject 🍂
31 October & 1 November · Samhain
As the seasons turn and we enter the season of Samhain, we’ll be gathering around the fire in the stone barn for a very special weekend of making.
Join acclaimed Galway-based artisan basketmaker
@sarahjenkinsonbaskets for two days of the traditional craft of willow weaving, using beautiful Irish-grown organic willow.
With Sarah’s guidance, you’ll learn a variety of traditional weaves while making your very own gorgeous willow platter or Ciseog/Skib to take home.
No previous experience is needed. Just come along, settle in by the cosy hearth and spend a few hours working with your hands, learning an ancient Irish craft and enjoying the pleasure of making something slowly.
And because this is the thatch, there will of course be something seasonal and delicious to eat, warm drinks and good cheer.
Three workshops across the weekend.
Saturday 31 October
10-1PM or 2PM-5PM €150 (Includes coffee/tea/drinks and something baked and lovely from the thatch kitchen)
Sunday 1 November
10AM-5PM Full Day Retreat €250. (Includes a hearty seasonal harvest lunch from the thatch kitchen.)
Very limited places.
DM here or email
[email protected] to reserve your spot.
Hope to see you here!
