Date and time: Monday, April 24, 2023; 6:30 - 9:30 pm PDT
Location: Multnomah Arts Center, Room 7 (7688 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR)
Cost: $26, plus an in-person materials fee of $15. (You will pay your $15 materials fee at the time of class using a check, cash, or “willow bucks.”)
Instructor: Carol Horvath
Number of students: 12
Materials included: Pre-made leaf-shaped frame and prepared (dried then soaked and mellowed) willow
Supplies needed: pruners, bodkin or large awl, and willow rolling or winding tool (a round piece of wood or 14 oz can work well. Instructor has several to share)
A larger version of this basket is found in Jenny Crisp’s willow book, and credit goes to her for this design. However, each vessel will be a little different depending on the frame shape, size and the willow colors you select.
A variety of willow colors will be provided from the Guild’s Our Table willow plot. Instructor will provide the leaf-shaped frame. You’ll learn willow handling and basic ribbed-style basketry techniques. This is a small vessel, so you’ll have time to make it once or twice on the same frame to practice your willow handling techniques.
