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 – participants bring their own lunch.
