  • Glebe House 635 Main Street Poughkeepsie, NY, 12601 United States (map)

SOLD OUT!! Saturday and Sunday, June 12th & 13th, 2021, 9:00am - 5:00pm

Organized through Fall Kill Creative Works. More info and registration here. $235 non-members, $211.50 members. The class will take place outdoors under a tent!

During this weekend course students will create beautiful round baskets from willow. Learn to construct a traditional basket with a circular base, rounded or sharp angled upsett, a choice of side weaves and a woven border. Time permitting, students can weave a complementary handle. Students who have participated in a previous willow weaving class can either revisit that same basket style or explore a different type of round basket. Participants will finish the class with a sturdy and useful vessel. Willow can be challenging to work with, someone with hand issues or weak hands may find this class difficult. Includes 1 hr lunch break.
