Willow Workshops 2026

I’m delighted to announce the launch of my 2026 willow weaving and basketmaking workshop programme.

I’m really excited to return to teaching after taking some time off since giving birth to my daughter last summer. I’ll be teaching a range of half and full day workshops, all suitable for beginners and designed to give you a fun and informative introduction to the tools and techniques of willow.

Willow Flower Workshop, Sunday 19th April 10am-1pm

Bird Feeder Workshop, Sunday 24th May 10am-1pm

Willow Garden Decorations Workshop, Sunday 14th June 10am-1pm

Bread Basket Workshop, Sunday 12th July 10am-4pm

Foraging Basket Workshop, Sunday 20th September 10am-4pm

Berry Basket Workshop, Sunday 1st November 10am-4pm

Reindeer Sculpture Workshop, Sunday 6th December 10am-4pm

My workshops will take place at Coalport Village Hall, in the centre of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. All tools and materials are provided, and refreshments and a light lunch (for the full day workshops) are included in the ticket price.

If you book on to one of my workshops, you'll be given a 10% discount code for my collection of gifts for basketmakers, to help you continue your new willow hobby at home. Here's some feedback I've received from previous happy weavers:

"Absolutely fantastic! I can't thank Daisy enough for making it a fun day where we created a basket to take home and cherish."

"Daisy's workshop was really lovely. Her teaching is clear, gentle and encouraging and well paced. I was so pleased with the basket I made, can't wait for the berries... I could easily become addicted to willow! "

"My dad and I attended the berry basket workshop and it was an amazing day. We both enjoyed the activity as every step was explained clearly and Daisy gave support when needed."

I hope you’ll be able to join me. Please visit my website for more details and get in touch if you have any questions.
