Join Jes Clark of Willow Vale Farm for a weekend of willow basket weaving! Come and learn about the anatomy of willow and it's history as a healer and a provider and learn new weaving techniques. You'll leave with a basket woven by you! We will be weaving beginners round baskets starting at the base and finishing with optional handles or shoulder straps. Weaving techniques incorporated are pairing, waling, randing and woven rod borders. These functional baskets are sturdy and can be used for foraging, harvesting, or for holding precious items at home. No weaving experience is necessary, but strong hands are a must. All tools and materials will be provided.
