What you'll do
Always wanted to try your hand at woodworking? Go all the way from log to basket and join Fazey Woodcraft for two days of Ash splint basket making at this fun hands-on course!
Ash splint basketry has its roots in the indigenous cultures of North America, and many of the techniques used in the making of these baskets also originate from Europe.
Guided by experienced basket maker and bowl turner Michelle Mateo, your workshop will begin by pounding an ash log by hand and processing the splints yourself into the necessary pieces required. You'll then get the chance to split the splints further and learn knife techniques to prepare the ash for weaving.
Next begins the basket. Your teacher will cover basic weaves and the importance of tension as you learn all about the properties of ash, its durability, its flexibility, strengths and weaknesses.
Learning these skills will give you the foundation to not only weave baskets but also show you how to produce materials, adapt future baskets to your designs and provide you with a guaranteed appreciation of the mighty Ash tree!
At the end of this woodworking course, you'll have a beautiful handcrafted basket that will make the perfect addition to any home!
Please note:
- These workshops are for adults, however, children from age 16+ may attend if joined by a participating adult (18+).

Your teacher
My journey into ancient ways officially began in 2011, when I started an apprenticeship with renowned woodsman Ben Law.
This apprenticeship saw me living full time in a 100-acre coppice in West Sussex, managing the woodland in the traditional way and learning ancient skills such as charcoal making, timber framing and the green wood crafts that used to supply us with the majority of our everyday items.
Following this apprenticeship, I moved to Dorset with my wife, started a family and began to pursue my fascination with ancient technology and ways of living full time.
My belief in, and respect for indigenous societies across the world is at the core of everything I do. Societies across the globe that have an understanding of the natural world, and our place in it, far surpass our western ideas. I've spent my life trying my best to learn from these societies and rediscover the scraps of our own here in this small corner of England.
This fascination with ancient hunter-gatherer societies, different ways of living and natural history drives my passion to learn, create and pass on knowledge which I believe can only be for the betterment of our society as a whole.
