Willow Weaving for Beginners – Week 1

I am doing a 5 Week Willow Weaving for Beginners at Plymouth Art College
We learn to make simple round baskets, mini sculptures or garden plant supports in Willow.  At the end of the course, we will have a good basic knowledge of Willow types and how to prepare them, weaving tools and how to use them and the stages in constructing a stake and strand round bottom basket. 

Here are the photos of Week 1's progress
