About

Learn to prepare seasoned barks for a plaited platter with shallow or deep sides. Meditative rows of twining define the sides and swirls of your basket. Learn the innovative chase weave developed by your instructor while she designed this basket. The edge treatment, bordered with roots or barks, will be thoughtfully chosen for each piece. These remarkable containers are woven to become both a serving piece on the table, or displayed artfully on the wall. The basket incorporates a variety of willow barks, and roots and threads for the border.
