Basketry

In the basketry class students will learn how to locate, harvest, propagate, and weave willow, an incredibly pliable and resilient material. This class will focus on waling, or three-strand twining, an ancient technique of weaving that creates a beautiful pattern and a very durable basket. We will also focus on two-strand twining, perhaps one of the earliest ways of turning a collection of twigs into a solid, multi-use vessel. Participants will make and go home with a finished basket. Early registration is strongly recommended because materials are limited; first come, first served.
