Spend a day absorbed in the ancient craft of basketmaking in the beautiful surroundings of Killruddery Garden. Guided by Basketmaker Sarah Jenkinson you will learn the craft of basketmaking while weaving a beautiful natural willow hanging basket with a leather or cork strap with many functional uses as a plant holder, utensil basket, lunch basket, bedroom and bathroom hanging basket, berry foraging basket. This workshop introduces you to the ancient craft of basketmaking where you will be shown a variety of traditional weaves using Irish homegrown willow. Willow is a beautiful natural sustainable material that is a joy to weave with, creating handwoven baskets that are eco friendly, biodegradable, durable, lightweight and a beautiful alternative to plastic. ABOUT SARAH JENKINSON Sarah Jenkinson lives and works in Galway city as a full time basketmaker. Sarah made her first willow basket a few years ago and instantly fell in love with the uniquely spiced aroma and texture of willow, and the ancient craft of basketmaking. Having been given the opportunity to work as an apprentice with Ciaran Hogan at his workshop and shop at the Spiddal Craft Centre, it was here that Sarah developed her skills and love for traditional Irish basketmaking along with attending basketmaking residencies all over Europe where she learned new basketry skills from many talented basketmakers. Sarah loves weaving with willow and she has found that the ancient craft of basketmaking has rooted her in a very special place, deeply connected to the earth. Sarah weaves baskets with barked willow allowing the stunning natural colours and the uniquely spiced aroma of the willow varieties to shine through on each basket. Sarah also grows various willow varieties in a small Salley Garden in Connemara from which she harvests willow every winter for use in her baskets. ABOUT KILLRUDDERY FLOWERS WORKSHOP…
