In this intermediate, two day course, learn from Dominic how to make a traditional hen basket. This classic frame basket, also known as the Ose basket, makes the ideal foraging or picnic basket. Learn how to set hoops and as the basket weave progresses add the ribs that give the basket it’s strength. Some previous basketmaking experience is recommended for students on this course.
