Willow Basket Workshop
November 9&10 2024, 9am-5pm
Join Solé (a professional willow basket maker at Owl Creek Oasis) and Simone in a 2-day basketry adventure working with willow. This class will be great opportunity to deepen your connection with this strong and flexible material to make a beautiful and functional round basket. We will meet the needs of first time basket makers as well as more experienced basket makers looking to advance their techniques. With willow as our teacher, we will dive beyond just making a basket and into all the experience has to teach us about our relationships with the material, techniques, ourselves, each other and the earth.
