Frame Basket (Willow) with Jenna Bradford of Groundwork

November 16 @ 9:30 am MST - 4:00 pm MST

Frame Basket made out of willow surrounded by flowers

Join us for this unique style of basket weaving!

This class covers a foundational style of European willow weaving. You’ll learn to weave a frame basket using a simple weaving technique. You will create a frame (simple structure) that will provide a form for weaving. Whether or not you have woven a basket before, this class has something to offer everyone! At the end of the class, you’ll have the skills to weave your own baskets and begin to explore more advanced willow weaving techniques.

Level: Beginner/Intermediate (No experience necessary, but great for those who have already begun learning basketry!)
Skills: Willow harvesting and tending, preparing willow for weaving, creating a frame, “god’s eye”, and a simple weave.

All supplies included.

*Since Groundwork is a non-profit with a sliding scale, you can register for this class on their website here.
