Willow Fest will be held July 23, 2026 - July 26, 2026 at
Reed College in Portland, OR.
Five workshops will be offered this year. One workshop will be posted here each week until registration opens.
When you register you will select your workshop based on your skill level, experience, and the projects offered.
Workshops are limited to 9 participants.
Willow Immersion with Katherine Lewis @willowbasketmaker
In this four-day workshop, you’ll create two baskets appropriate for intermediate to advanced weavers.
Understanding of pairing, waling, French randing, and willow borders is necessary. Hand strength is necessary
for these projects and comfort using a knife is important for cutting scalloms.
Rope Coil Weave Basket
In this workshop you will make a bowl-shaped
basket. To create the coil weave, we start with slender weavers of graduated
lengths. The willows are sorted precisely, and the weave creates a coil that
gives this basket its distinctive look.
Fitched Willow Shopping Basket ~
Working with bark-on willows, students will weave an oval
shopping basket with a cross handle using scallomed-on stakes and fitched
sides.
The focus will be on fitching, shaping, and how to create a strong, functional basket.
Class fee: $685 including materials
More details about the event, our instructors, the venue and all the classes is at https://www.basketryguild.org/what-we-do#/willow-fest-northwest or link in bio.
We hope to see you there!
