Workshop Description Join us for a creative, hands-on workshop led by artist and designer Lelia Bacchi. In this engaging session, you’ll explore the traditional craft of basket weaving using natural and sustainable materials. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, Lelia will guide you step by step through the process—from preparing your materials to weaving and shaping your very own basket. You'll leave not only with a beautiful handmade piece, but also with a deeper appreciation for this meditative and timeless technique. The workshop offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere where creativity and experimentation are encouraged. All tools and materials will be provided. Just bring your curiosity, and get ready to learn, create, and connect with others through the simple joy of weaving. www.leliabacchi.com Lelia Bacchi is a textile artist with a deep fascination for the intersection of material, process, and meaning.
