Basket Making

Willow Weaving with the Willow Woman

Join Helena, also known as the Willow Woman, for a slow adventure where you can make your own handcrafted willow basket.

Helena offers both scheduled classes and personalised experiences where you can learn about the history of willow weaving, discover techniques to create your willow basket and understand the significance of willow weaving in Irish culture throughout the centuries.

You’ll be encouraged to work leisurely, experiencing firsthand how this raw material can be shaped into something unique. As you weave alongside Helena, you’ll be satisfied knowing you’re using locally sourced, sustainable materials.

Take your willow basket home and cherish it as a lasting memory of local Leitrim.
