Today, the OB has many members throughout Oxfordshire and beyond.

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.
