Basic willow baskets

Willow can be used to make a range of useful objects from a simple basket to a fish trap or even a chair. This introduction to willow basketry will give you the basic skills to produce a useful basket. Depending upon how quickly you pick up the skills you may have time to put a handle on your basket during the day if not you’ll leave with everything you need to finish off your basket complete with handle if you haven’t quite been able to finish it.
