Wild Wednesdays - Basket Weaving

Call of the Wild Series

Learn the art and skill of weaving vessels and baskets from only plant material.

This workshop will show you from start to finish how to weave a container basket using only the beautiful plants that bless our Forests. Participants will be guided to foraging their own basket materials, hand picking and selecting very consciously what materials will make up their own creations.

We will set ourselves up in a beautiful hidden sanctuary, tucked away in the valleys of Lantau island where we will have access to washrooms, water refills and be treated to a slice of ancient Hong kong. Indoor and sheltered space will be available in case of severe or heavy rain.

Weaving will take place under the trees and sitting on the Earth, the same way many of our ancestors would have done. This practice and skill does require focus, patience and humility…
