#Willow Weaving

🌀Spiral weave, also known as the corn dolly weave, is a simple yet beautifully versatile technique — perfect for everyone, from beginners to experienced weavers. 🌀 Join us later this month at @suekirk.willowbaskets to learn this gorgeous weave and also try your hand at some creative plaiting projects too. From bird feeders to bullrushes, you’ll be amazed at what you can create! (There might even be some little snail action! 🐌🐌🐌) 👉 Head to Sue’s website to book your spot! 🌱 #willowweaving #willowcraft #SpiralWeave #CornDollyWeave #willowworkshop #CraftWorkshop #SueKirkBaskets

Using traditional basketmaking techniques to weave a bespoke hanging seat from willow grown in our beds in Worcestershire. I’ve been dreaming these hanging pods up for years, and I’m excited to final make one. #willow #basketmaking #basketweaving #craftedhome #slowdecor #heritagecrafts #traditionalcraft #sustainable

Weaving has a way of slowing everything down — connecting me to the land, the seasons, and to others who find joy in making with their hands. #itsabouttheprocess #connectionthroughcraft #connectionwiththeland #connectwithnature #connectingwithweavers #weaving #willowweaving #willowworkshops #weavingworkshops #thebranchranch #learncreategrow

During the winter we get a bit of time to make some willow plant supports that we use around the garden to suppprit the leggy dahlias and peonies during the summer months. Its a nice break from the usual gardening tasks but a bit of a hand breaker #millhouseviews #alexbellgardendesign #gardendesignsussex #gardendesign #balcombe #sussexgardens #willowweaving #willowplantsupports

Those willow sticks I shoved in the ground earlier this week… time to start weaving the living willow fedge 🌿

A few moments from today with Sarah making a large Irish weave basket. Today was a perfect day for weaving outside in the garden: not too bright, not too windy, not too rainy. It sounds odd to say overcast mild days are a dream! Working outside is always a treat, the mix of natural light and nature’s sounds makes the weaving experience even more enjoyable and rewarding. • #basketmaking #contemporarycraft #madebyhands #willowweaving #basketry #contemporarybasketry #naturaldecor #sustainableliving

Une petite séquence de tressage néolithique sur montants ourdis avec un osier très fin. La finesse de l’osier permet de soulager le travail des mains mais exige par ailleurs un contrôle accru de la torsion pour obtenir une forme harmonieuse du panier. Ce panier avec d’autres seront mis en vente sur mon site internet très prochainement, si vous souhaitez être informé(e) je vous invite à vous inscrire à ma newsletter (lien dans ma bio) A short sequence of Neolithic weaving with scallomed stakes using very fine willow. The fineness of the willow makes the work easier on the hands but also requires greater control of the twist to achieve a harmonious shape for the basket. This basket and others will be available for sale on my website very soon. If you would like to be notified, please subscribe to my newsletter (link in my bio). #osier #willow #mimbre #vannerie #basket #panier #basketmaking #craftmanship #basketweaving #willowweaving #tressage #weaving #contemporarycraft #cesteria #fiberart #artisanat #artesanía #lovebasketry #traditionalskills #primitiveskills #faitmain #hechoamano #handmade #burkinaweave #neolithicweave #continuousbraiding #pieriglemaillot

Feeling the pull towards a slower, more creative life? You’re not alone. This spring, I’m running beginner-friendly willow weaving classes in Kent where we’ll make beautiful, sustainable pieces for your garden together. In this reel, I’m making a bird feeder - one of four workshops I have coming up: 🌿 Heart wreaths 🐦 Bird feeders 🌱 Garden obelisk 🪴 Plant supports No experience needed. Just bring yourself, a love of being outdoors, and leave with something you made with your own hands (and probably some new friends too). There’s something magical about sitting in a garden with other women, hands busy, conversation flowing, creating something beautiful. That’s what these classes are really about. Classes are small, step-by-step, and designed for complete beginners. DM me ‘SPRING’ for dates and details. #willowweaving #kentworkshops #tunbridgewells #slowliving #willowworkshopskent
