Designed for real, everyday use, this sturdy willow log basket is built to carry weight and stand up to hard work. It’s the kind of basket you’ll reach for again and again — by the fire, in the wood store, or out in the garden. It can also be used as a beautiful laundry basket.

During the course, you’ll focus on strength and structure: making a robust base, using thick willow for stakes, weaving tightly for durability, and finishing with a solid handle and border. Along the way, you’ll learn why certain techniques are used and how to adapt them for other heavy-duty baskets.

This course is ideal for those who want to make something practical, long-lasting, and a pleasure to use.
