You’ll learn traditional willow basket weaving techniques, explore how to shape and strengthen your form, and leave with a truly unique piece — a functional and decorative reminder of what can be made from the simplest materials.

All proceeds beyond material costs will be donated to charity, so you’ll be doing good while learning a new skill and connecting with nature.
