Product description

Learn how to form the asymmetrical-topped basket – a great basket for those developing their weaving style.

You will need to understand and be able to do a three-rod wale independently in order to access this course.

We will be working from a pre-woven base so that you can concentrate on learning:

  • pull down wale
  • chased rope weave
  • working with hazel- cutting, drilling, sanding & applying sealant/ polish
  • rose bud knots
  • trimming & tidying the basket

Perfect for those who have made a few roundwork baskets & want to develop style, control & learn new weaves

Please note:

  • this course is physically demanding & you need a good degree of manual dexterity.

What do I need to bring?

  • Glasses (if you need them for close-up work).
  • Notebook and pen if you wish to make notes.
  • Old clothes, covered, flat shoes (no sandals or open toes).
  • Something to tie hair back with (if needed).

All materials included. Suitable for intermediate weaverss 18+. 
Should you have any specific needs, please make us aware before attending the course.
