Willow Bark Basketry with Jennifer Zurick

November 6 @ 9:00 am - November 9 @ 5:00 pm

This class will introduce weavers to native black willow bark, a very strong, flexible and beautiful fiber uncommonly used for basketry. Class participants will learn fiber preparation by removing the outer bark layer from portions of precut strips prior to constructing a small basket and bark harvesting will be discussed. Students are encouraged to create freely, choosing from variety of weaving techniques for the basket body and twining techniques for border design options. Cordage making for optional handle application will also be taught. All skill levels are welcome.

All material costs and daily lunches are included in the course fee at Pine Croft.
