Part of the Radical Landscapes Events and Activities Programme.

Taking inspiration from the themes of the Radical Landscapes exhibition, in this activity we’ll be engaging with nature and the rural traditions of our ancestors. The materials to make baskets were readily available in the local wetlands, which meant that basket weaving was a widely practised craft in Waltham Forest. Guided by artist Lucy Rainbow, you’ll  learn how to make a simple woven pot using natural fibres.

The activity is suitable for children aged 5+ years. A simpler weaving activity will be available for younger visitors.

All materials will be provided.

Activities will take place on the first-floor landing in the Gallery.

All children must be accompanied by an adult.
