Thursday 21 & Friday 22 August 2025

West Dean London, Dilke House, 1 Malet Street, London, WC1E 7JN.

Sculptural basketry will focus on the techniques of coiling and wrapping, with a theme of ‘making lines’ whilst creating linkages, enabling movement and modules.

Sculptural basketry will focus on using a range of materials to make lines. The course will begin with the learning of wrapping and coiling techniques with exercises to create simple line shapes and forms. Lines will be explored by making simple drawings and models, with the main inspiration being found in the three-dimensional off-loom work of Tadek Beutlich. You will be encouraged to sample and develop ideas which work towards the making of your own structured sculptural piece towards the end of the course.
