Experienced straw worker, Jan Robertson, will lead this year's class in making a 250mm x 250mm knotted straw basket, with the same straw working techniques used in the critically endangered craft of Fair Isle Strawback Chair making.
The basket will have a wooden base, so some basic woodworking will be required - no experience necessary. This is a simple basketry technique but also the perfect first steps to doing a full chair back
