WILLOW BASKETRY: A TREY OF TRAYS
WITH MARGARET MATHEWSON
Make a series of flat or shallow basketry trays in a mix of beautiful colors- round, square cornered and leaf or boat shaped. Over the course of the weekend, students will use bright willow and fragrant cedar twigs in plain weave. Students will have the option to add handles or not, so trays can be used for drying herbs and flowers, serving cheese and crackers, or enjoying on your wall. This class is suitable for beginners and up.
