About this course and kit

If you want to put aside some time to make a beautiful willow star at home with friends and family, we've got you covered! Our customers absolutely love this kit. It's easy to make, perfect to do in a group and the finished project looks wonderful in your home (Check out some
recent customers' stars below).  

During the course you will learn a variety of core willow weaving skills, like how to prepare the willow for weaving, how to select the right rods and how to make willow bend round corners without breaking. By the end you'll be dying to make your first basket.  

What is included in the online course and kit?

In the kit your will receive:

  • A bundle of high-quality willow weaving rods (enough to weave your star with a bit extra left over).
  • A soaking bag - your willow will need to be soaked for a couple of hours before you weave it - full instructions are included.
  • Wire ties for holding your willow in place while you are weaving.
  • Fairy lights to decorate your star.

Our courses are produced by our BAFTA-winning team of filmmakers which means they are cleary presented and well thought out. Students get the right
piece of information at the right time, which means they get great
results. Plus we are always on hand to answer questions.

What else do I need?

Why learn from home?

Can I do this course with a friend?

Our courses are great to do in a group! If you would like more than one kit, just select the number you would like at checkout.

After purchase, we will email you a unique access link for each member of your group. All you need to do is forward one of these on to each student. EASY PEASY!

If you would like 5 kits or more, send us an email and we will offer you a special price!

All our kits can be stored indefinitely so you can buy now and give the gift later.
