Students will use an innately colorful selection of willows cultivated at Sanborn Mills and Willow Vale Farms. Students will also learn about the cultivation and processing of this historically important natural material. Our baskets will be built from a round base with weaves mostly in the European tradition\, including pairing\, waling\, randing and woven borders. Every student’s basket will be different! This class is suitable for beginners wanting to learn a base of weaving knowledge or intermediate weavers looking to improve skills and control. Care and use of finished pieces will be discussed in class. \nWillow is a stronger more tension-y material than many other basketry materials\, strong hands are recommended for this course.  \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Skills + Techniques\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students will learn: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nAn introduction to several weaving techniques/patterns:\n\nPairing/reverse pairing\nThree-rod wale and four-rod wale\nA variety of “side weaves” including French randing\, English randing\, slewing\, packing\, and zig-zag weave\nWoven rod borders\n\n\nLearning the “feel” of weaving with willow\, a unique material in the US\nLearning the use of willow weaving specific tools: Bodkin\, Rapping Iron\, Fid\, Shaping ties and hoops\, Clippers in a willow context\nIdentifying willow in weaving and learning the growth/processing of willow for weaving\nCreating functional and beautiful 3D shapes\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Instructor\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Jes Clark \n			\n				Learn More \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tools + Materials\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Students should bring: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nAll materials will be supplied\nStudents may bring the following tools if they already have them: bodkin\, high-quality sharp pruners (Felco or similar)\, rapping iron\, fid\, conditioning tool (a perfect cylinder with no seams\, appx 3” in diameter\, usually a reusable water bottle/thermos or spray can)\, 2-4lb weights\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Material Fee: \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n$25.00 – $50.00 paid at time of workshop\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				COVID-19 \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nPlease read our COVID-19 Policy prior to registering\nWe are honoring each instructor’s specific COVID-19 safety requests.
