    About this course and kit

    In this brand new course and kit, you’ll learn to weave this beautiful willow bird feeder using natural brown willow (willow with the bark still on).  You'll get lifetime access to Mollie Mcmillen's lovely 2.5-hour online course, plus all the materials you need will be delivered to your door!

    During the course you’ll learn how to tackle a round base, how to weave a beautiful sloping roof and how to attach the two of them together. Check out the trailer above for more details.

    Who is this course for?

    This course is suitable for beginners who have a fair ammount of experience and confidence in craft.

    Whats included in the course and kit?

    In the kit you will receive:

    • One large bundle of high-quality willow weaving rods – all sustainably grown in Somerset. 
    • Twine to hang your birdfeeder in your garden.
    • A soaking bag - your willow will need to be soaked for a few days before you weave it - full instructions are included.

    The course includes:

    • Over three hours of expert instruction with leading basketmaker and teacher
      Mollie McMillen. 
    • You can access the course from any device by logging into our website (we will provide you with login details after purchase). 
    • Our courses are produced by our BAFTA-winning team of filmmakers which means they are clearly presented and well thought out. 
    • Students are taught the right information at the right time, which means they
      get great results. Plus we are always on hand to answer questions.

    How do I prepare my willow for weaving?

    For this course you will be using brown willow, which is willow in it's natural state with the bark still on. 

    To make it pliable for weaving you will need to soak it for five days in the soaking bag provided with the kit. 

    That might sound like a lot but it's extremely easy - all you do is put the
    willow in the bag, fill it with water and leave it outside on the ground (full instructions are included in the course).

    Brown willow is essential for this project because the bark will protect your bird feeder from the elements.

    But
    we also now offer brown willow courses because we've found that it's
    actually easier for beginners to work with. It's more flexible and it
    never snaps when you're weaving it.

    If you've never used brown willow before it's an absolute must!
