Join dear friend of Hedgerow Herb Co. Marisa Rutto for an evening of weaving with willow. In this class you will learn the skills needed to make a basic tension tray.  All you will need for this class is your hands and pruners (make sure they are sharp!

I like to work on the floor, however there are some tables and chairs available. If you’d like to bring a cushion or you know you have specific bodily needs, let us know so we can accommodate you. 

The amount of willow soaked for class is for the number of students who sign up. Depending on size, variety, time of year, ect willow soaks up at different speeds. This requires me to get sign ups at least two weeks in advance of class. If you are worried about money, payments can be made in chunks, as long as it is paid for before class begins. Just reach out to the shop with any needs/ concerns around this. info@hedgerowherbco.com

Disclaimer: Willow is hard on the body and hands. Especially when new to willow work, most peoples hands and bodies get sore from working with willow. If you have specific chronic hand or body pain that you’re concerned about, reach out to us and we can help you decide if/ how willow can work for you. 

Your ticket includes:
+ hands on instruction
+ finished tray crafted by your hands
+ a space to reconnect to craft within community

Please bring:
+ sharp hand pruners

In times when a quick click of a button can have any good delivered to your door, at a great cost to both workers and the earth body, learning slow crafts and ways of old empowering gift to oneself and an important lifeway to keep alive through practice.

REGUSTRATION CLOSES NOVEMBER 6th.
