Willow Pack Baskets-  August

By the time the Joe-Pye weeds blossom by the streams and rivers, we will meet again to relax,  and meditatively weave our own personal willow baskets as a group. 

During our time together, students will learn this ancient, meditative skill of learning how to work with willow’s ability to bend but not break.  By interweaving willow shoots, and by relying on friction, we will craft and create the perfectly, imperfect carrying vessel for each student. These pack baskets can be worn as a backpack and will be sturdy enough to carry your next harvest of apples or pears.
