Random weave bowl or basket

Product description

Learn how to make a random weave basket- a great basket for beginners or for those developing their weaving style. Using our stunning willow in a variety of lengths and colours you will design and recrate a truly unique basket to take home,

Random weave is not actually random it is a considered placement of weavers to fill gaps whilst retaining a thin basket wall. Fun to do and much more relaxing and intuitive than formal basketry.
