Step into the festive season with a slow, mindful craft evening in Brighton where you’ll learn to create your own beautiful woven seagrass basket. This is a grounding, tactile process that connects us to traditional craft and natural materials. The repetitive rhythm of weaving invites calm and focus, offering a peaceful pause in the bustle of the season.
Guided step-by-step, this beginner-friendly workshop is the perfect way to relax, connect, and make something natural and meaningful - whether for your home or as a handmade Christmas gift.
Fun fact: Seagrass weaving has been practised for centuries to create functional, beautiful objects that last. Each basket is unique, carrying the maker’s personal touch.

Shared fries to enjoy together.
A warm and welcoming festive atmosphere to get creative.
You'll take away your finished basket to cherish for years to come or ready to gift to a loved one, plus the skills to carry on weaving.
