Enter the quiet rhythm of weaving and learn to create with one of nature’s most generous materials — willow. In this 3-day class, you’ll explore the ancient art of basketry, working with living fibers to shape functional and beautiful vessels. As your hands learn the patterns, your mind begins to slow — weaving becomes a meditation, a way of remembering our reciprocal relationship with the plants that sustain us. You’ll leave with your own handcrafted basket and a deeper sense of belonging to the natural world.
