We've been steeped in preparing natural materials for our upcoming basketry workshops. From planting willow in the “fiber field” at the learning center to bark peeling and fiber processing days, we are immersed in connecting to our land, learning functional hand skills and preparing to make beautifully crafted baskets. Some favorite plants to use are those that are aggressive in the landscape and so abundant that we can feel good about harvesting and putting them to useful purposes. It is a joy to do these things in community and to cultivate and facilitate these kinds of learning opportunities in our area! And how special it is to hold something that we’ve had our hands on every part of the process of making. ❤️
