Join us for your first exploration of willow basket weaving! This class covers the foundations of European-style willow weaving. You’ll learn to weave a small, round basket using the simplest weaving techniques. You’ll learn to create a sturdy base, add sides to the basket, and finish your basket with a strong border. At the end of the class, you’ll have all the skills to weave your own baskets and begin to explore more advanced willow weaving techniques.
For your information, this class will be mostly filled with participants who are also part of our Food Systems Fellowship program, 5 young people in their mid-twenties who are studying food systems and non-industrial lifeways for 8 months in Paonia. This shouldn’t affect your learning experience in a negative way, but we wanted you to know that most of the class will have pre-existing relationships.
