Discover and explore the fundamentals of stake and strand basketry using willow that is grown, harvested, and processed on nearby Foggy Blossom Farm. Skills covered will include the construction of a base, wale, side weaves, borders, handles and feet. Depending on time, space, and interest, there may be opportunities to play with other complimentary materials.
*This workshop is appropriate for beginning to experienced participants, with opportunities for multiple projects and more advanced techniques as we go along. Please note this craft is a physically intensive one, but there will be room for rest, recovery, and conversation.

Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided.
