Lesson 1: The Willow Star

In this lesson you will learn how to weave the points of a willow star together using a willow wrap. This is a key skill that you will use in many other areas of basketry. 

If you want to make a willow star, check out our Getting Started with Willow kit, which comes with three great beginner projects including the star. 

 

Lesson 2 - The Bird Feeder

In this lesson you'll learn how to do waling - a key weaving technique that helps give your baskets strength. It's often used when joining two elements of a basket together, like the base and the sides.

Lesson 3 - The Oval Basket

In this lesson you'll learn how to weave a double French rand, one of the most beautiful patterns in basket weaving. It is used to build a wonderful cable pattern up the sides of a basket, and is one of our all time favourites.
