Diagonal Plaited Baskets with Willow Bark Workshop

May 5, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 4:00 pm

NOTE: MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR IN PERSON WORKSHOPS WITH JOAN CARRIGAN.

In this workshop, participants will explore two types of diagonal plaiting and weave both a square basket and a flat pouch. Diagonal Plaiting is super fun to weave and always feels like you are performing a magic trick. We will be using willow bark for each project. Discussion and demonstration will cover how to grow willow and how to harvest and prepare the bark in the springtime.

Tools: sharp scissors, 12” ruler, an old towel, spray bottle, household string.

HCP Members $120 / Non-Members $140

REGISTER ONLINE or call 250 479 6162

Over the past 25 years, her passion for baskets has led her to study, travel and explore many different techniques and materials within the medium. Joan studied Fine Art and Art History at the University of Guelph and her love of history prompted her research in traditional techniques. Her background in fine art has encouraged her enthusiasm for the sculptural and creative potentials that the medium offers. Her inspiration comes from the plant materials she respectfully harvests from nature. Joan’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
