About the event

Willow Basket Workshop - Full Day
Have you always wanted to work with willow and make a beautiful, natural willow basket? Join us on Saturday, July 26th for a full day of willow basket making! Participants will make a 12’’ x 7’’ x 6’’ (approximately) willow fruit basket with a pine wood base. This class will cover some basic stake and strand basketry techniques, including:

- staking up the base
- upsetting
- pairing weavers
- waling
- creating flow on the sides
- french randing
- pricking down
- plain rod border

Experience Level: All levels are welcome. No experience required. Average to moderate hand strength is required for this class. It will likely not be a good fit for anyone with hand sensitivities including hand injuries and arthritis.

The instructor is committed to fostering an equitable approach to craft. Her teaching will thoughtfully explore how craft practices, education, and materials are connected to broader social issues such as historical and ongoing injustices, including land appropriation, indigenous displacement, and systemic inequality. She will also share ways she is actively engaging in efforts towards repair and positive change within the field. You can learn more about Frea (FREE yuh) on her website WildEarthCrafts.com

There will be a 1-Hour lunch break. Please bring a sack lunch or explore local dining options.

An additional fee for materials provided by your instructor for this workshop is estimated at $65.00. Material fees may change depending on the number of participants and price of materials at the workshop. *Payment by cash or check is required for materials fees. This instructor also accepts Venmo.

Scholarships spots are available for people of the global majority. Please reach out to inquire.
