Discover the art of coiled basketry in this hands-on workshop with contemporary fibre artist Monique Ross.

Working with raffia, explore the traditional technique of coiling and learn how simple fibres can be transformed into beautiful, sculptural forms.

Monique will introduce participants to foundational coiling techniques, including wrapping stitches, and guide you through the process of building form, texture and structure.

With prepared starting pieces to help you get straight into making, this relaxed workshop offers an opportunity to slow down, work with your hands and discover a craft that connects traditional techniques with contemporary creative practice.
