BONUS - I wanted to share one of my favourite things to do – weave onto driftwood – so I added that as a bonus at the end because I was too excited about this course not to!

I think I have probably spent thousands of hours twining baskets! It’s my go-to basketry technique where ever I am – on the train, sitting quietly on my balcony or even in front of the TV. I just love it.

It’s a basketry technique that once you’ve learnt the fundamentals, you can unleash your creativity and apply it to so many materials and forms to create stunning baskets and sculptures. How exciting is that!

This comprehensive course is for you if:

·      You want to learn the ancient basketry technique of twining, but don’t know where to start.

·      You don’t have any experience weaving patterns.

·      You only know one or two ways to start and finish a basket, but want to learn more.

Learning at your own pace, this practical and comprehensive video based course is suitable for beginners and intermediate weavers.

As a student you also have access to the School of Basketry Art Facebook Group which is full of wonderfully support people.

By the end of this fun course you will have completed baskets and the confidence to do more!

Frequently asked questions

What if I don’t have any weaving materials?

In this course I have purposely chosen weaving materials that you can buy locally or online. You may even have material around your home that you can use.

What if I’ve never woven before?

If you’ve never done weaving before – perfect! You’ll love the step by step instructions where you can go at your own pace. It’s all video so you can see what I’m doing while I’m explaining it, so that makes it very visual and easy to follow.

I’m a practiced weaver, is it too easy for me?

If you have done heaps of twining with lots of starts, finishes and all of patterns I’ve described above, then maybe you might want to do my sculptural twining with found wood course. But if you haven’t, then you will absolutely learn new techniques. (As a side note, even as an experienced weaver I go to workshops where I know the technique because I always learn new things.)

What if I’m not creative enough?

I think that everyone is creative, but we need to put ourselves in environments where we explore that creativity. I’ll walk you through the techniques step by step and give you the space to get creative. Anyone can take this course and end up with stunning baskets.

How long do I have access to the course?

How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.

When does the course start and finish?

The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.

What if I am unhappy with the course?

I would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase please contact me.

Why is the course price in US dollars?

I wanted to include PayPal as a payment option because I use it the most myself when buying online, but this platform forces US currency if I want to include this PayPal option. It gets automatically converted to your chosen currency for payment.
