Details

• Skill level: Intermediate to beginner-intermediate basket weavers.
• We'll play with subtle color shifts and practice working with willow of different varieties and thicknesses to coax the shape of our basket into the desired form, which is mostly flat. The drying tray with shallow walls and roped willow handles will be an adventurous final touch with the option for untreated sisal roped handles as well. 
• Willow basket making asks for strength and comfort in the hands and wrists. This particular basket will have us bending over a good amount (with ample breaks for stretching!) so please take this into consideration before signing up. 
• Feel free to bring lunch and snacks to enjoy in the common area during breaks. There is a refrigerator and microwave on the lower level.

Prerequisites

Materials

• A materials fee of $160, included in the price of the class, covers all willow needed for weaving the basket. The willow is hand tended and comes to you from our willow garden in Chimacum.
• The instructor will provide needed tools but if you prefer to bring your own, you'll be emailed a tools list prior to class.
