Karla Pearce at work! Karla, in her own words: 'I’ve always been a creative maker, with a decades-long interest in plants, gardening and the natural environment. My fascination with weaving natural materials began while experimenting with plant supports for my garden, and it quickly grew into a love of basketry.
I first learned from local basketmakers through the Northumbria Basketry Group, before seeking opportunities to study with renowned basketmakers in the UK, Ireland, Spain and Denmark. I went on to train intensively through the City & Guilds accredited one and two year basketry courses at Westhope College in Shropshire.'
This taster course is also found here on Eventbrite.
