Sip and Weave: A Festive Seagrass Basket Workshop

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.

What to expect:

  • You'll weave a handcrafted seagrass basket that's uniquely yours, using natural materials.

  • Take away a printed guide to continue weaving at home!

  • 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.
