Inis Oírr grown willow is used by Cleas to teach workshop participants the skill of crafting items with sally rods in the traditional Inis Oírr manner.  A caoladóir basketmaker with 16 years experience works in conjunction with the workshop group as they weave their Sally Rods into a creation they will always have as a reminder of their journey to Inis Oírr.  Workshop language options are English or Gaeilge.

​

Workshops are generally run between 2.30pm to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, maximum group size is 9.  

​

Workshop duration can vary from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the group size, skill level, and aspiration of participants. Beginners can expect to make a St Brigid's Cross or hanging mobile within the time allocated.  

​

Cleas Crafts shop, located beside our workshop, and open Mon-Fri. 9.00am- 5.30pm,  stocks our full range of willow items, both modern and traditional.  For queries and bookings please get in touch via the contact page.

As willow needs to be soaked for a week to aid pliability, advance booking is necessary.
