Description

With over 30 years of experience in woodworking, Daniel Sams is passionate about using locally and ethically sourced materials to create beautiful, functional baskets inspired by traditional American Ash Pack Baskets.

What You’ll Learn:

- The art of Ash splint basketry, an age-old technique from North America

- How to prepare and weave with UK-grown Ash splints (Fraxinus Excelsior)
