Wicker / basketmaking

Hyperangelic

Hi
I'm looking for a class in basketmaking or wicker. I have a project on the go at the moment for which I'd like to make (or acquire) a number of wicker hoops.

I've seen a few things advertised but they are all either really old, or based in the East of the country and I'm in Mayo. I don't mind a bit of travelling for a weekend or a daylong course but Wicklow is a long way from here!

Anyone got any suggestions?

thanks

Anne

County Galway is a bit closer:

Thanks a million for that! I'd seen that site but I hadn't found course dates I think.

Of course since then, my client has decided that the wicker looks too dark and they want something lighter! You know that feeling when you show someone 5 pictures and you think "Don't pick number 5 cos it's a ridiculous amount of work." and of course, they pounce on number 5. :-(

Might try the basketmaking to cheer me up!

Regards

Anne
