Looking for something new to try? 🧺🤔

I run basket-making workshops for community groups, workplaces, clubs and groups of friends.
I bring all the materials — you bring your people! 😊

It's a chance to learn something new, have a bit of fun and go home with something you've made yourself.

Thinking of organising a class for your group? Cuir scéala chugam! 🧺💚

Last few days of The Green Loy exhibition at The Dock 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ .
It brings together the best of local folk art and tradition and it's well worth a visit if you are in Carrick on Shannon up to 22nd August.

Strokestown Park🧺💚

Following the wonderful Hands That Remember basketmaking project at Strokestown Park, we had the pleasure of returning today to visit the house and walled gardens.
During the project, we weaved the type of potato skibs that were common in Roscommon — a poignant project of huge cultural significance, in the home of the National Famine Museum 🥔🥔
It was lovely to return today and tour the house and gardens. An afternoon well spent.
