These include professional basketmakers and teachers as well as researchers, collectors and people who simply like baskets or enjoy ‘having a go’ from time to time. 

Delivered through a regular programme of workshops, talks, visits, social gatherings and with opportunities to exhibit.

New members are always very welcome. 

2025 / WHAT'S ON / WORKSHOPS

A quick glance...

Celebrate the Basketmakers’ 50th Anniversary with a series of talks. 

We hope the BA members among you might be interested in something a bit different – Rachael South who is the MOST AMAZING 3rd generation chair seater is giving a talk on Zoom on Thursday 6th March 7.00pm. Her career is absolutely amazing and she has worked for some incredible brands creating bespoke designs. She works in materials including skeined willow, rush and seagrass and has just published a book.  
 
The tickets cost £5.00 and you will get a recording for your personal use so if you can’t make it you can watch at your leisure. 

Tickets are available now to BA members. Download the PDF for more information.
