Tiny Willow Bowl

​Join us to weave a small willow bowl for your desk, entryway, bedside table, or wherever little things tend to gather.

​Designed with first-time weavers in mind, this workshop will guide you through selecting, bending, and weaving willow rods as you create a useful bowl to take home.

​Along the way, you will learn the foundational steps of weaving a basket base, begin to understand how willow behaves in your hands, and build the comfort and confidence to take on larger projects.
