Dirk started esparto weaving in 2004 when he learnt the craft from a 90 year old basketmaker from the village of El Berro in the Sierra Espuna and has been making baskets from esparto grass ever since. He has been sharing his skill over the past 8 years teaching on his Almond farm in Spain where he runs workshops. He has also taught in the Netherlands as well as England and Wales when he is visiting the UK.
