Half Moon Baskets

Such a lovely day. Thank you, Fern's School of Craft 😘

With Weaving Connections behind us, it is time to start dreaming of summer.

Where will you gather this year?

This summer solstice, June 18–22, I’ll be travelling to the Earth Daughters Festival in Golden, BC.

This will be my first big journey outside of the province to weave, and I am immensely honoured to be invited into their gathering and to spend time with their community.

I will be joined by Mandy Leigh and Michelle Christine in weaving a willow casket, as well as offering opportunities for people to weave their own small willow vessels to bring home with them.

If you are curious about willow and weaving, and would like to spend a weekend surrounded by women, mountains, and meadow grass, I encourage you to visit their website and see what they have planned for this year’s gathering:

If you decide to come and would like to join in the weaving, send us a message.

There will be much work before us, and many hands are welcome.

Peace amongst the willows.
