Make Merry: Woven Baubles (Afternoon)

Get in the cheerful crafting spirit with Tabara N’Diaye from La Basketry.

Join us to explore traditional twining basketry techniques, and learn to make joyous hand-crafted festive decorations using colourful rolls of twine. Twining is an ancient basket weaving method, where two wefts are twisted and woven through stakes to create a structure. Together, we'll utilise this technique to create bright baubles with intricate patterns for you to take home (or, in the true festive spirit, for you to gift-on to a friend). No experience or skill necessary, all welcome!

Tabara N’Diaye is a creative designer, author, and the founder of La Basketry, a vibrant lifestyle brand born from a passion for handwoven homeware and accessories. Each piece is crafted in collaboration with female artisans in Tabara's native country of Senegal, and is driven by a mission to redefine basket-making as fun and accessible. Through this work, Tabara has fostered a community of likeminded basket enthusiasts through innovative projects, creative thinking and engaging workshops.
