Join willow weaver Lisa Dear for a creative day learning to weave your own beautiful willow and hazel handle basket.
Lisa Dear is an artist and maker living close to the land. Through willow basketry, she creates functional objects that quietly reconnect daily life to nature.
In the workshop you will be focusing on creating a simple basket using British grown willow.
Workshops will be held in the magical upstairs space at our shop in Alfriston, East Sussex and limited to a maximum of 4 people. The small group size means that you'll benefit from lots of individual guidance and tuition.
Suitable for beginners but good manual dexterity is needed, and all materials and equipment will be provided.
Thursday 15th October from 10 - 5pm.
CHAPTER 2, 8 Waterloo Square, Alfriston, BN26 5UD.
We'll keep you well nourished with tea & coffee and one of Lisa's delicious homemade cakes but please bring your own lunch or head out to one of the neighbouring cafes in Alfriston.

All CHAPTER 2 styles are made using soft, natural leathers which will develop their own unique character the more you wear them.

The upper leathers used on CHAPTER 2 boots are sourced from tanneries that have achieved either a Gold or Silver rating as part of the Leather Working Group.
LWG is the cornerstone in standards for the production of responsibly made leather. Their aim is to encourage a more responsible and transparent leather supply chain as a pathway to creating and using sustainable materials.

“Three years later my Wren Boots still look amazing and feel like slippers. No denying they were an investment purchase but the style is timeless so the price per wear is now down to pennies. Make the leap if you are tempted, you won’t regret it!”
