Willow Weaving - Basket

  • Pope Mountain Arts 675 Birch Street Fort St. James, BC Canada (map)

Anneh, “The Willow Bender” has been weaving with willow for many year. She was initially self-taught; however, she has gone on to hone her craft with renowned basketry professionals from Europe, the USA and Canada. The supplies used in this workshop were grown on Anneh’s willow farm in Quick, BC. She harvests, cures, sorts and grades all her materials.

This workshop is suitable for Adults and Youth (14 yr +), beginner and intermediate.

You will learn how to make a willow basket using the stake-and-strand technique, with whaling and randing and a basic border. There will be lots of learning in this workshop! There will be time to add a handle if you choose.
