The materials for the online workshops are delivered to the participants home and Helena then delivers live online training to small groups via the Zoom platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the support of Creative Ireland Helena Golden Willow Woman is now working online with groups such as Tidy Towns and ICA.\u00a0 The restrictions of\u00a02020 have meant that established groups are no longer meeting and are losing their momentum. By participating in The Willow Weavers Project, group members are engaging with each other, keeping in touch, learning a new skill and having some fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":10501,"template":"","class_list":["post-10500","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Willow Weavers Project - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Helena Golden Willow Woman has been making traditional baskets and delivering Basket Making workshops and classes for a number of years.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Willow Weavers Project - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Helena Golden Willow Woman has been making traditional baskets and delivering Basket Making workshops and classes for a number of years.\u00a0 Her relaxed, informative teaching style ensures that each participant is guided through the weaving process at a pace they are comfortable with and each participant makes their own basket throughout\u00a0the course of a training [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CreativeIrl\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/helena-golde-willow-woman.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1440\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1440\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@creativeirl\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/\",\"name\":\"The Willow Weavers Project - Creative Ireland Programme\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/helena-golde-willow-woman.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-06-25T02:03:46+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/helena-golde-willow-woman.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2020\/06\/helena-golde-willow-woman.jpg\",\"width\":1440,\"height\":1440},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/the-willow-weavers-project\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"The Willow Weavers Project\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/\",\"name\":\"Creative Ireland Programme\",\"description\":\"The Creative Ireland Programme is guided by a vision that every person in Ireland will have the opportunity to realise their full creative potential.
