The cost of all the workshops is £75 per person for the two days. The price includes materials for one basket. If you want to make a second basket there will be an additional cost of £5 for the extra willow. If you want to come to all three summer workshops then the cost will be £210 for the series.

Tea and coffee will be provided but you will need to bring your own lunch.

To book a place, please send me your name, address and phone number together with a cheque for the workshop fee, letting me know which workshop you are booking. Cheques should be made payable to 'Eleanor Clapp'. I will send out details about what to bring for the workshop a few weeks beforehand. My address can be found on my Contact me page.
