Willow Weaving Workshops

Basketry weaving is a worldwide practice and as old as humanity. When weaving with willow we literally take sticks and create functional, artistic, and long-lasting objects. Willow weaving is a  creative process that is challenging, rewarding and ultimately extremely satisfying. It’s fun too!

I love sharing my passion for ‘all things willow’ with others.

Please note that all work with willow takes a certain strength in the hands, if your hands are injured or prone to pain these classes may not be for you.

 

After a busy season I am taking a break over the Winter.

Once I schedule more workshops I will send out a mailchimp newsletter.

Keep Warm!
