Willow Baskets

Learn the way of the willow!  Using a combination of wild and cultivated basketry willow, we will weave a complete basket starting with the base, all the way to finishing touches like handles and a foot.  While weaving, we will discuss harvesting and cultivation methods, materials preparation, and ongoing care for your basket. While it takes many years of practice to become proficient, a beginner can make a decent basket in this weekend course. For more experienced willow weavers, Nick can support your progress with more complex weaves, shapes and finish details.
