Making a willow basket

Making a Willow Basket

Making a willow basket takes about five hours for a Newby.

Watch this speeded up video of making a basket.  On our day courses here, it takes a new student one full day to make a round willow basket.  This process gets quicker over time.  I can make a basket in about an hour now, this video is speeded up, as well, to sit and watch me weave for one whole hour would be pretty boring...   Instead, see the basket grow magically before your eyes.

Check out our attended day courses, to see the basket making day here at Wild Harvest School.
