Willow Weaving Techniques | Slewing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2017
- Slewing is the willow weaving technique of working two or more rods together one above the other, before and behind alternate stakes.Slewing is worked continuously round and round the sides of basket, and an odd number of stakes is necessary. Two-rod slewing is begun with a single rod in the same way as for randing, and when this rod has been worked for half its length, a second rod is laid in above it, and the two worked together. When the lower rod runs out, its top is left on the outside of the basket, and a third butt is laid in above the other rod,between the same two stakes, to make up the two again. In a similar way a fourth butt is laid in when the second runs out, and so on. Three-rod slewing is begun in the same way, but a second butt is added when about one-third of the first rod has been worked, and a third rod when about two-thirds of the first has been worked. This gives the three rods, and the number is maintained by adding a butt above the others when a top finishes below.
Great demonstration, cheers Brendan Farren! 😉
Beautiful, thank you. So well set up, I could see really well. Lots more please.
Glad you enjoyed the video.Thank you for your kind comments.
Thank you for filming this. I love this technique but i never tried it. Now i will ... ;-)
enjoyed a new process.
wonderful!
I absolutely love your videos. I am terrible at making baskets but am still learning. I'd love a video on how to walk into a willow stand or flat and pick which rods to harvest, dry, and rehydrate. Kind of going through that whole process.
Hi Nickolas,thanks for letting me know that you are enjoying the videos.Weaving is all about practice,so stick at it and you will get there.We are in the process of producing a video which will cover all of the things you mention,so subscribe and keep tuned in to receive our latest updates.
That is great news! I feel like here in the US the ash baskets are starting to be hip again, but I rarely see willow ones. You've converted me! The next state over has a really amazing weaver named Nick Neddo with Roots Primitive Skills School. You should check out his work when you get a chance.
Thank you for sharing your skills. Very helpful video. Singapore
Thanks for your kind comments.
I was wondering if you could make a video on how you first start the circle on the bottom of the basket? Could you also do another video on how you get the standing rods and how they connect to the bottom of the basket? Thank you. 😊
I've got a bunch of those on my channel
Looked at this, because I like the pattern, but found out it's practical too. Sometimes life gives you melons.
Can you do a video where you show how to do the rim of a basic stake basket?
Will you be doing anymore videos?
I would like to learn how to do the round irish potato basket but cant see where to purchase the video on your site. Thx

Hi Ruth, thank you for getting in touch. Try biggreenweaving.com, or if you copy the link above into your google it should bring you to a purchase page.
Soooo ... maybe a naive question but " an uneven amount of uprights" ....is there a specific place where the extra upright or rod is inserted ? or?
I have only created a few baskets so my experience is somewhat limited but love your vid ... :)
You need an odd number for the continuous weaving pattern to work. It's more a case of removing one upright from a full set in order to achieve the odd number.
