This 3 session class is intended for anyone curious to weave a willow basket for the first time or build upon existing willow weaving skills. Bailey and Bozena will lead participants through weaving up a stake and strand basket using willows harvested from around the Midwest great lakes. Students should come prepared to use great hand dexterity. We hope to equip students with basketry skills that they can take with them after class is over, and will incorporate conversations around traditions of willow basketry, material sourcing, and willows ecological role in our region. All materials and tools provided by instructors.
The materials fee for this course is $35 and is included in the admissions cost.
*** We do require masking indoors, whatever your vaccination status***
