Heritage Hands Festival: Sandgate

Discover the traditional art of basketry with Monique Ross at Heritage Hands Festival: Sandgate.

In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, learn the fundamentals of raffia basketry and coiling, exploring the techniques used to transform natural fibres into beautiful, functional objects.

Working with raffia and prepared starting pieces, Monique will guide you through the coiling process as you develop your own handmade creation.

Perfect for beginners, this workshop offers an opportunity to slow down, connect with natural materials and experience the satisfaction of making something by hand.

All materials are included. No previous experience necessary.

Part of the inaugural Heritage Hands Festival: Sandgate, celebrating traditional craftsmanship, specialist trades and the people keeping handmade skills alive.
