The workshop
Celebrate heritage craft and learn from the highly sought after willow instructor, Maria Bullock. Hailing from Orcas Island in Washington state and originally from Poland, this is a rare opportunity to experience Maria’s teaching in person on the East Coast.
The construction of this willow tote begins with an oval frame for the base. From there, students will cut and attach scalloms, then follow with 3 rod wale, zigzag, or French randing and finish with a 4 rod border. Willow cultivation, propagation, and preparation for weaving will be covered.
This class is for all experience levels. Strong hands are recommended. Students must feel confident using a knife
