Baurnafea Studio
Handcrafted Ceramics and Basketwork created by Klaus Hartmann and Heike Kahle in County Kilkenny, Ireland
Courses
During a one day workshop try your hands at a traditional skill making your very own willow basket in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere under the tuition of an experienced teacher. Small groups of no more than eight people will learn basic techniques. Everybody goes home with a finished basket.
The course takes place at our studio in Baurnafea, runs from 10am – 5pm and costs 85 euro per person. All materials, your morning coffee, lunch and afternoon tea are included in the price.
