Basket Weaving Workshop

Ancient Craft, Modern Calm: Basket Weaving for the Soul



1.5 hours Class size 8 to 30 guests       $65

Take a soulful pause from the busyness of life and sink into the meditative art of basket weaving.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to weave your own beautiful raffia basket — and more importantly, you'll experience the deep joy of mindful making.
At first, you’ll focus on learning the technique — feeling your hands move, your brain light up, and your creativity spark. Then, as you settle into the rhythm, the weaving becomes a moving meditation: your breath slows, your mind softens, and you find yourself fully present with each wrap and loop.
Basket weaving is the oldest craft and has been practiced by many different cultures. In this workshop you will receive a weaving kit with everything you need to create your basket. 
No experience needed — just a love for creating with your hands and an open heart.
Whether you come to weave quietly and slip into a peaceful flow, or to connect and share stories with fellow makers, this workshop offers a nurturing space for both.
By the end, you'll walk away with:
Your own nearly-finished (as this is a practice of patience too) raffia basket
The skills to keep weaving at home
A deep sense of relaxation and accomplishment
Create, connect and weave
What you'll get
  • All materials to make a basket (Raffia, needle, choice of wool and decorative bits).
  • Take home all your material to continue the basket at home.

  • 5/5 from Danae Jeanes, attended Jun 2026: Belinda was welcoming and made learning to weave easy. It was a great workshop, in a werm and welcoming space.
  • 5/5 from Jett Mizuno, attended Jun 2026: I really enjoyed this workshop. Bel creates a friendly and creative environment. The workshop covered the basics in weaving a basket with enough guidance and skills covered to make beautiful creations in your own space from day one. I really appreciated the inspiration provided too, that you can create and experiment from here with the skills you leave with. Thanks Bel.
  • 5/5 from Jen Findlow, attended Jun 2026: Learnt the basics of rafia basket weaving. Instructor was engaging and lovely and taught very well making it easy to follow along, just wish the class was 2 hours rather than 1.5.
