Learn the way of willow! Using a combination of wild and cultivated basketry willow, we will weave a small basket or tray, learning various weaves and techniques along the way. This is meant to be an intro to willow basketry, focusing on getting to know the material and the process of weaving with willow. While weaving, we will discuss harvesting and cultivation methods, materials preparation, and ongoing care for your basket.
