Class description

What you can expect from our basket weaving course in Cologne!

In our basket weaving course in Cologne, we will show you how to make your own wicker basket. Using natural materials from nature, we will weave, tie, thread and twist your wicker basket together! We make your basket or trivet out of raffia, grass or wicker. 

 

What is included in our basket weaving course in Cologne?

First, our basket weaving course in Cologne includes all the materials you need for your wicker basket. In addition, we will of course support you with our knowledge and also teach you the theoretical part behind basket weaving. Of course, we'll also provide you with a few small snacks and drinks. 

 

Where does our basket weaving course take place in Cologne?

Our basket weaving course in Cologne takes place in the Cologne sculpture studio. On Bonnerstraße 90 in Frechen, we are waiting for you in our inviting studio.

How does this activity work?

It is best when we collect our own material in nature: red vines, deep green ivy, light grass. We design with both shape and color. The material we use to tie can also provide a colorful or subtle accent. Funky and unusual, we can create a lid or handle for your woven basket, there are almost no limits to your imagination. Whether oval, round, flat or high, symmetrical or asymmetrical, a piece of work is always beautiful and you can never have enough baskets. A treasure basket or an apple basket for the market... We start with a trivet and then quickly build up to a basket. It can also be woven with willow, for example.

Who should definitely take part?

The course is suitable for anyone who enjoys braiding. It doesn't matter whether you've done something similar before or not. I will explain all important steps to you. The course is also ideal for private groups or JGAs.
