Yes. The course has been designed with beginners in mind. You don't need any previous basketry or willow weaving experience.

You'll be guided through each stage of the basket step by step, while learning the fundamental techniques of round basketry along the way.

No. The Asymmetrical Basket is a very beginner-friendly project and has been taught as a first basket to hundreds of students in Joe's in-person workshops.

If you've already done some basketry, you'll still find plenty to develop and refine as you work through the techniques.

Whether you're picking up willow for the first time or already developing your weaving skills, this course gives you the opportunity to strengthen your understanding of the fundamentals, build confidence and continue your journey with willow.

Wherever you begin, there's always more to discover.

The course contains around 6 hours of detailed, step-by-step tuition, taking you from preparing to weave through to your finished basket.

You don't need to complete it all at once. Pause, take a break and return whenever you're ready.

You'll have lifetime access to the complete course.

That means you can return to lessons whenever you need to, whether you're making your first basket or coming back to revisit a technique later.

Absolutely. You can pause the lessons, replay sections and take as much time as you need. There is no race to the finish.

Basketry is a practical skill, and sometimes the best thing you can do is stop the video, pick up your willow and spend some time practising what you've just learned.

I want you to feel confident when you enrol, so you have 14 days to decide if the course is right for you.

If you decide it's not for you, simply get in touch within 14 days of purchase and I'll arrange a full refund.

No complicated process and no hard feelings.

You'll need suitable basketry willow and some basic basket-making tools to complete the project.

You'll be given information about the materials and equipment you'll need as part of the course.

You'll also have the option to purchase the Willow Soaking & Preparation Guide, which explains how to prepare the different types of basketry willow you're likely to encounter and includes troubleshooting advice.

Yes. The guide can be purchased separately, or you can add it to the course as part of a bundle at a reduced price.

The guide covers willow soaking and preparation, as well as troubleshooting to help your willow perform at its best.

That's completely normal.

Basketry is a hands-on skill, and some parts will take practice. That's why the course is designed so you can pause, replay demonstrations and revisit lessons as often as you need.

The aim isn't to get everything right first time. It's to gradually develop your understanding and confidence as you work.

Yes.

The course is online, so you can learn wherever you are in the world. You'll simply need to source your own willow and tools locally.

The course will officially open on 27 September.

If you're on the Early Access List, you'll be able to enrol from 13 September and receive the special early-access price of £100, rather than the usual £125.

Early access runs until 4 October.

That's absolutely fine. Because you'll have lifetime access, there's no pressure to begin or finish within a particular timeframe.

You can enrol, gather your materials and start when you're ready.

Yes. The online course teaches the same Asymmetrical Basket that Joe has taught in her in-person workshops for more than a decade.

The teaching has been carefully adapted for online learning, giving you the ability to pause, replay and revisit each stage whenever you need to.

Yes. The course has been specifically designed to take you through the complete project online, from the first weave through to the finished basket.

You will need to allow yourself time to practise, particularly while you're becoming familiar with tension and controlling the willow. That's part of learning the craft.

The course centres around one complete basket, but the aim is to teach you much more than a single project.

As you make the Asymmetrical Basket, you'll learn fundamental techniques of round basketry that you can continue to use, practise and develop in future baskets.
