Anna Liebmann Coldham will be holding her annual willow harvesting working-workshop, on Saturday the 14th February, at Talamh Housing Co-op in South Lanarkshire.

You can come and learn how to grow and harvest basketry willow on an annual coppice cycle. We’ll be cutting this year’s colourful crop, and there will be a chance to take away cuttings to grow your own!

At: Talamh Housing Co-op, nr Coalburn, South Lanarkshire, ML11 0NJ.

Please book with Anna directly so she knows how many pairs of secateurs to sharpen and let the good people of Talamh know how many folk to make a pot of soup for. For more on Anna’s upcoming events check here.

Courses

I have my usual one day basketmaking courses at St Margaret’s House, Edinburgh, and, at last, New and Improved 2 Day Courses! These will be for beginners and improvers alike, and it will be a chance to consolidate skills learned on the one day course if you have been to that, or get going if you are a total beginner. Participants can make fruit baskets, or something a wee bit bigger, such as a kindling basket or round shopper. You can book through my website, here.
