Northumbria Basketry Group
Promotion of basketry in Northumbria
Northumbria Basketry Group was established in 2007 to promote and enable the study and practice of all aspects of basketmaking, chair seating and allied crafts in the Northumbria region. In order to do this we run a range of courses, workshops and other activities.
Members meet regularly across the region in local self-help groups.
The group’s core activity, promotion of basketry in Northumbria, is carried out through courses, workshops and other activities covering a wide range of skills, including willow basket making, rush and cane seating, willow sculpture, willow hurdles, garden structures and Christmas decorations.
A number of members accept commissions for baskets, hurdles and sculptures.
