Wicker Basketry Course - 13th to 18th June
*Price per person

Serra da Lousã

From 13 to 18 June, Cerdeira - Home for Creativity is hosting the Wicker Basketry Course led by Mai Hvid Jorgensen. Participants are invited to explore the relationship between rhythm and technique and discover how these elements form resistant and functional baskets.

Focussing on small-scale creations, the course is designed to encourage experimentation and creativity. Participants will learn how to handle wicker to create various structures, each reflecting a unique balance between form and functionality.

The techniques are introduced progressively, allowing each participant to advance at their own pace, regardless of their experience. In the end, everyone will have a deeper understanding of basketry techniques and will take away unique creations.

Mai's passion for teaching and preserving one of the oldest crafts fits in perfectly with Cerdeira's philosophy, which is committed to rediscovering ancient traditions while giving them a contemporary twist.

Mai Hvid
Host
Mai Hvid
Mai Hvid Jorgensen fell in love with basketry in 1997. She lives in a forest south of Koege, Denmark, where she grows her own willow, harvesting and using locally sourced materials. Mai specialises in creating functional baskets designed for modern homes, combining traditional techniques with contemporary needs. In 2002, she founded her own business, Skovens Pileflet.

Throughout the year, Mai shares her love of basketry by running workshops all over Europe, passing on her experience and enthusiasm for creating. She also takes part in fairs and markets, where she sells her pieces. Her teaching method is based on respect for traditional techniques, quality craftsmanship and a connection with nature.
