Join us for a gallery talk to explore the rich history of willow growing and weaving in Nottinghamshire – focusing on one of the natural materials at the heart of our new 
basketry exhibition
.
Willow grower, sculptor, and weaver Alison Walling will guide you through the fascinating world of willow – from how it is grown to its many uses in craft and conservation. She’ll also share stories of its deep-rooted connections to Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, including stories of local historic basketmakers like the Beestons of Blyth.
After the talk, immerse yourself in our exhibition, 
Basketry: Rescuing, Reviving, Retaining
, where you can see first hand the extraordinary objects woven from willow today.
