Product description

Using our stunning willow in a variety of lengths and colours you will design and recrate a truly unique hbasket to take home,

You will choose to work from a pre-woven willow or log slice base so that you can focus fully on learning:

  • shaping the honeypot
  • herringbone or spiral rope weave
  • working with hazel- cutting, drilling, sanding and applying sealant/ polish
  • 5 behind 2 border
  • trimming and tidying the basket

Perfect for those who have made a few roundwork baskets on courses and at home and want to develop style, control and learn new weaves.

All our courses are supported with after class notes, videos and help/advice sheets and blog content to help you continue your weaving journey.
