Willow Weaving 101
Monday, August 3 - Friday, August 7, daily from 9am to 1pm
Come learn the art of willow weaving! Over the course of five mornings, students will turn a pile of soaked willow sticks into round stake and strand baskets. Stake and strand is an ancient weaving method traditional to many parts of Europe and the British Isles. In this class we will cover twining, whaling, French randing, paired borders, and two kinds of handles. Students can expect to complete 2-3 baskets over the course of the week and will take home the skills to create more. This class is geared toward beginners but more experienced weavers are also welcome. Register here.

Join me for a book talk and Q and A! Here’s what we’ll cover:
As a girl, Elspeth Hay learned that we humans are a blight on the natural world. Her lived experience confirmed this story time and again—until the day she learned that we humans can eat acorns. Suddenly, things began to shift. In her new book, Feed Us with Trees: Nuts and the Future of Food, Elspeth uncovers the ancient relationships between humans, our keystone nut trees, and fire—and the ways we can work together again to revitalize our world.
