Hand-woven willow baskets bring a touch of rustic beauty and function to your home. Jes Clark of Willow Vale Farm will teach you how to weave a round-shaped berry basket from the base up. Learn the traditional methods of stake and strand willow weaving and techniques such as pairing, waling, and French rand. You'll use a simple trac border and pegged stick handle to complete the look. Choose from a beautiful assortment of natural willows grown and prepared by Jes on their Hudson Valley farm. Strong hands are a must!
