The kit did take a little while to turn up(think I ordered mine before Christmas and got it 3-4 weeks ago, but when it did I had every thing I needed and had already been sent a link to access the course so I could watch them before I got started. The videos describe everything you need to know in clear step by step instructions including preparing your dry bundle of sticks when they do arrive. I've just finished my bird feeder and despite a few hassles, it looks great....the birds are choosing this nice sunny day to ignore my efforts but we'll see how it holds up when they decide to come back. I was also contacted to ask how I was getting on (my sticks were still soaking at the time) but communication is RAPID. Overall loved the whole experience and would definitely recommend them. Thinking of saving for the bird house next.

What a fabulous company. Great videos which make weaving really achievable. Fantastic people and customer service. I’ve done several of the baskets and the online videos are really detailed, with hints and tips that make it really possible to weave baskets starting from zero experience. I’ve been weaving now for a year - round, oval and square baskets, trays, stars and now reindeers. It’s been a joy to learn a new skill and with such greater tuition and support. Thank you to Patrick, Mollie and the rest of the team

Beware! Read previous reviews about kits not arriving!
I ordered a basket kit on 30.1.25 and despite an email saying it had shipped, it was never sent to the courier and a fortnight later it still hasn't been sent. Promises by owner to 'follow up with warehouse' haven't happened. Also, the link that was sent giving me access to the course went instead to a screen asking for £129 and designed to look like my original payment hadn't gone through (the payment had already been taken when I ordered, I checked). Unsuspecting people will have money taken from their accounts twice if they assume their payment has failed and still not receive their kit or have access to the course. I am treating this company as a scam until I have proof otherwise in which event I will update this review. If you still decide to order from this company after reading this review, I strongly recommend you pay by PayPal so that you have a chance of getting your money back.

UPDATE 21.02.25: My items have finally arrived after a chapter of excuses - car accident, run out of leather, problems with computer etc. This took nearly a month so be aware if you want to receive a kit without hassle or within a reasonable timeframe.

Kit for market basket was great with enough willow and the online course was comprehensive. Course presenter Mollie was very knowledgeable and encouraging and i am very pleased with my result as it was my first go at basketry.

I bought the wicker shopping basket for my 21 year old son as a birthday present.
He loved the course and successfully completed the basket. It's absolutely beautiful and he's so chuffed with it.
The online teacher in the course was very good and clear.

I have 2 courses as a gift. And I have done the first one, loved it. So easy to follow and can pause and take your time. The tension tray is a great start with enough product to produce 2. I needed help on the course, (my fault... pressed the wrong button on the computer) I rang up and the phone was answered by a person!!!😀😀 And help was there... Amazing love it, and you can do the same course over and over again. Exceptional valve for money and really good for keeping the brain and hands active.

Fantastic.......loved making this. I ordered the bird feeder and made it over the Christmas break. It arrived within a couple of days of placing my order and came with everything needed to produce a finished item. The instructional videos are really clear and go through the processes at a manageable pace. Would definitely recommend these kits and looking forward to doing another one

What a great Christmas present.
Never worked with willow before and was a good experience.
Need to make sure you read the instructions and look at the videos,it's not to be rushed, wasn't sure if I socked the willow and let it rest enough, found the willow splits , but plenty of spares.
Have enough willow to make another star , hopefully with better results, we learn from our mistakes.

I bought the shopping basket and got the tension tray as an added bonus!

I did the tension tray before Christmas and I’m about half way through my shopping basket.

I’ve done lots of different craft learning but this has to be the best. The videos are completely clear and being able to watch how to do the hand movements is brilliant and watch them over and over.

I also had an issue (I’d not made my bottom arched enough - first attempt problem) and they were so quick to reply with tips which was amazing.

Would recommend to anyone I am totally addicted!!

Just brilliant. I have been wanting to have a go at creating something out of willow for years, but always seemed daunting, and had no idea where to begin. I am so pleased I took the plunge, and ordered the bird feeder. The tuition is absolutely superb. I am a complete beginner. It was thorough, well explained, in a calm and steady pace to keep up with ( you can also pause, rewind etc). Will definitely be ordering another course and hone my new skill

This was one of the best Christmas present my husband ever got me. Kit arrived quickly and had everything I needed with extra willow just in case you need it.
I did have a technical issue with the link to the enroll on the course but this is probably my husband fault, emailed Patrick on Christmas Day (not expecting a reply until the will after Christmas) and he messaged back supper quick. That’s customer service!!!.
100% recommend to any crafter that like there garden too.

Quick delivery, my husband ordered me a willow course for Christmas, at my request. It was delivered quickly and has been standing in the corner of my kitchen for the past month!
I was so excited to finally open it last week and start watching the online videos explaining what each project was and the steps to complete each one. The tutor was very lovely and easy to follow. It was easy to pause and give myself a bit more time when needed. Handling willow is a completely new thing for me and I absolutely loved it. Sometimes the willow broke a bit and the videos assured me that this was normal and part of handling a natural product. I never felt like I was doing it wrong or wasn't good enough. I simply pulled out another reed and started that bit again.
I was so pleased with my finished star which looked even more impressive when I attached the tiny lights which were included in the pack.
Thank you so much not only for teaching me a new skill but for giving me something I'm not ashamed to put on the wall. I can see the imperfections but that's part of the journey. Can't wait to try the next two projects.
I can't see how to add a photo but if I work it out I will because it's beautiful and you won't believe that this is my first ever try at using willow. In the meantime you'll just have to take my word for it 😃

Great service. Delivered on time but was missing 1 item, I contacted Patrick, he responded very quickly and sent the item out all has now been received and was received within a couple of days. Mistakes happen but this was rectified very quickly. Would definitely order again

I purchased 5 star kits for my daughter. Kits turned up fine. I never actually got confirmation email. (Had several emails saying order not complete). I have tried contacting company as without "course" all have is a pile of sticks.

I had exactly the same issue as Ken. No product, contacted after a week, would be with me the next day. No sign of it and no further contact. Luckily I paid by credit card and was able to claim it back. I would avoid!
Update: Patrick contacted me after Christmas and has delivered the items free of charge. The items look good. I have not yet looked at the course.

Due to my error there is a mistake in my order but I spoke today on the phone with the company who are going to send me the product I wanted. The video guides are really good, comprehensive and helpful. I’m really looking forward to starting the project. I like to support small businesses

Unfortunately I have hade exactly the same experience as other recent posters. Ordered a kit which cost, in total, £107 and order confirmed.

The website promises 2 day delivery so after a week I asked if an update was available, I received an apologetic email from Patrick stating it would be dispatched that very day and delivered tomorrow.

A couple of days later nothing had been received and Patrick has ignored all of my subsequent attempts to contact him.

So now he has my money, has not sent anything out and is ignoring me. I have therefore raised a PayPal dispute, which to date he is also now ignoring.

A shame because the product looks good, but I would avoid buying from here.

UPDATE 20/12: since the seller replied below I am pleased to say he has followed through by doing exactly what he said. I have had my money refunded and unexpectedly the seller he’s sent me the item as a good will gesture.

I would never use this company again - haven't received the materials. Website and kits looked great, so I ordered a kit that cost over £90. Waited a week and when I hadn't received anything I emailed..got a reply from Patrick saying it would be dispatched that day and should be with me next day. Nothing arrived so I emailed asking for confirmation it was dispatched...since then Patrick has ghosted me and not responded to my follow-up emails. Since ordering I've read the trustpilot reviews and it seems he does this a lot. Feels like a scam.

I ordered and paid for a gift, and since then there have been no updates, no responses to my emails, no telephone number and no delivery. Do not order from this company.

I ordered a basket kit, but sadly the order wasn’t delivered, or was pinched from the doorstep 🥲🥲 (deliver co’s photo only showed the doorstep!)
I contacted the company and they replaced my order!!

Thanks so much!!!!

I’ve done a couple other of their kits and they are fab😁 looking forward to trying this one.
