Workshop
Description
There are many different types of basketry and we can develop a workshop suited to the skill level and outcome. For example:
Participants can weave a fun simple basket for themselves
All participants can weave a basket which can then be stitched together to create one large collective wall sculpture.
Participants can weave a basket which they then need to hand over to another to finish – exploring ownership and teamwork
Benefits
The basketry workshops provide a hands-on, immersive experience where teams can connect, collaborate, and create using foraged natural materials.
Why Basketry?
Encourages creative problem-solving through tactile, hands-on making
Fosters mindfulness & presence by working with organic materials
Strengthens teamwork & collaboration through shared creative experiences
Inspires innovation by engaging with new techniques and approaches
A Transformational Team Experience
Through sculptural basketry techniques, your team will learn to weave and shape organic materials into unique forms—a powerful metaphor for adaptability and interconnectedness in the workplace. They will build intricate forms that develop attention to detail and patience. No prior experience is needed—just an open mind and a willingness to explore.
