First Aid at Work (Initial) - Level 3 Award

General admission

Wimborne

Join Fazey Woodcraft for two day&#39;s of Ash Splint Basket Making.....
&nbsp;
Your tutor for the weekend will be the fantastic <a fr-original-style="" href="https://michellemateocrafts.com/" rel="noopener" style="user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: inherit; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Michelle Mateo</a>. Michelle is an experienced basket maker &amp; bowl turner, and member of both The Heratage Crafts Assocation &amp; The Basket Makers Assocation.
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">This two day course will see you go from &#39;Log to Basket&#39;. Beginning with an Ash log, the weekend starts by pounding the ash by hand and then processing the splints yourself into the necessary pieces required. You&#39;ll then get the chance to split the splints further, as well learn knife techniques to prepare the ash for weaving.</div>
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Next begins the basket, you&#39;ll learn about basic weave, and the importance of tension. You&rsquo;ll also get to understand so much more about the properties of Ash; its durability, its flexibility, strengths and weaknesses.</div>
Learning these skills will give you the foundations needed to not only weave baskets yourself, but also how to produce materials yourself, adapt future baskets to your own designs, and a guarenteed&nbsp; appreciation of the mighty Ash Tree.
-----
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ash Splint Basketry has its roots in the indiginous cultures of North America, and many of the techniques used in the making of these baskets also originate from Europe.</div>
<div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Due to the way Ash trees grow, pounding the logs delaminates them, enabling the harvesting of thin strips of wood. These are then worked further before being woven into baskets.</div>

Internal Workplace Mediation Skills Course (5 days)

Learning from home at your own pace, in your own time. There is no time limit to this course.This course will teach you how to make 11 different thread buttons using a variety of techniques. The buttons chosen give a good foundation for button making, covering different aspects such as changing colours, wrapping and basic weaving.

Gina&rsquo;s Button Making 101 in person workshop covers as many of these buttons as there is time for - but in one day there is not usually the time to cover every one of these, plus the variations suggested here.

This is a great introductory course for complete beginners, and an equally good refresher course for anyone who has tried thread button making in any form in the past.

Each button instruction is by way of a video - shot from above, enabling you to see what is happening. Gina explains the process, and you can start and stop the videos as you require.

There are also 8 exercises - ideas for you to try once the basic buttons are successfully created. There are no direct instructions here, rather suggestions to encourage your creativity, just as if you were in a workshop with Gina.

As a bonus, all students of this course will also receive free access to an additional course - Finishing Your Buttons 

Tools &amp; MaterialsThe following tools and materials have been used on the course. You may of course choose a differently sized button mould or thread, but in order to follow the instructions as shown, you may find it easier to use the same materials.
A Materials pack - including threads, moulds, needles, stick and beeswax has been put together and is available in the Gina-B Silkworks shop - <a href="https://www.ginabsilkworks.co.uk/basic-button-making-course-materials-pack" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" fr-original-style="" style="user-select: auto; font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: inherit;">Basic Button Making Course Materials Pack</a>.

Self Guided Dorset button workshop with video support

Multiple Style Dorset Button Workshop

Learning from home at your own pace, in your own time. There is no time limit to access this course.

This course will teach you how to make 15 different ring buttons using a variety of techniques.

Ring buttons have a long history - it is believed that the first ring buttons in England were made in the Dorset region around 1720. However, other European countries also have traditions of ring buttons - called Zwirnknopf/e (literally "thread button"). This course will show you how to make buttons using both the Dorset and zwirnknopf techniques. The buttons featured range from traditional designs to modern variations.

This is a great introductory course for complete beginners, and an equally good refresher course for anyone who has tried thread button making in any form in the past. Each button instruction is by way of a video - shot from above, enabling you to see what is happening. Gina explains the process, and you can start and stop the videos as you require. The button modules are sequential, with a few more challenging designs to test your skills.

There are also&nbsp;9 exercises - ideas for you to try once the&nbsp;initial buttons are successfully created. There are no direct instructions here, rather suggestions to encourage your creativity, just as if you were in a workshop with Gina.

You will also receive access to a closed Facebook group where you can share images of your work, ask questions, or just say hello to other students.

As a bonus, all students of this course will also receive free access to an additional course - Finishing Your Buttons.
