About us

Herts Basketry was formed in 2004 by students who had recently completed the City & Guilds Basketry Course at City Lit in London.   

Since then, past and present City Lit students, local basket makers at any level of experience, and enthusiasts have joined the group. We are now more than forty members with different interests, ranging from traditional basketry to contemporary three-dimensional textiles.

We have seven or eight activities a year which include annual rush and willow harvests, formal and informal workshops, visits to exhibitions and museums.  We are also invited to the Herts County Show each year. 

Cost of membership is £15 a year.  To find out more please Contact us.
