OB was founded in 1999
It developed out of an informal group of local makers and enthusiasts who for some years had been meeting and sharing their skills.
Founder members were inspired by the first Oxford Summer School (1991), the Pitt Rivers Museum’s exhibition Basketmakers (1992), the activities of the national Basketmakers’ Association and the City & Guilds basketry courses offered by the City Lit in London with workshops, talks, visits, social gatherings and opportunities to exhibit.
Further historical information is found on the ‘history’ link in the footer bar.
