grounding in all the major aspects of basket weaving.

First you'll learn to make a round base - this is a key skill that you can use to make dozens of different baskets. Then you'll learn to weave the sides using two different weaves – Waling and French Randing. Finally you’ll learn to weave a beautiful ornate Border and round the top of the basket and fit a wonderful spiral pattern handle.
