BASKETRY RETREAT
The concept inspires to use the facilities at Vissinggaard: The workshop, museum,
library, video, a large variaty of materials and access to the lake and the forest.
The idea is to give the participants the opportunity to work in their own way.
To fullfill ones basketry dreams, to practice, to experiment - simply enjoy the peace
to make basketry.
The participants work on their own, but if there is the need for assistance,
instruction can be bought on an hourly basis.
Beside the freedom and peace, food and materials are taken care of.
A "retreat-day" starts at 18.00 in the evening and lasts until 17.00 the next day.
You can choose the number of days you like.
Price per day: DKK 550
