Join me in May at the beautiful Plas Newydd Farm in Ridgefield, WA, just 30 minutes north of Portland, for a weekend of weaving with willow.

In this 2-day class you’ll make a round, handled basket in the traditional European stake and strand style — a great foundation for your future explorations in basketry. 

We’ll weave with a combination of cultivated and wild willows grown right here in Ridgefield and throughout the region. We’ll spend two full days weaving our baskets, and as time allows we’ll discuss everything from harvesting willow to prepping your materials for weaving. This is a great class for beginners, or any weavers looking to strengthen their basic stake and strand skills. You’ll come away with your own hand-woven willow basket great for going to market, gathering, storage, and everyday household use.
