More details:

This class requires focused attention and could leave your hands feeling tired and sore by the end of the day. It will all be worth it when you go home with a beautiful new willow basket and the knowledge of how to make more like this! There will be a maximum of ten participants for this workshop.

Cost: This workshop has sliding scale pricing which includes all materials: $125-$180, with scholarship spots available to people of the global majority (PGM). Please select a payment based on your financial resources. In other words, those with less financial resources should choose on the lower end of the pricing scale and those with greater financial resources should choose on the higher end of the pricing scale. See the Green Bottle Model for clarification and help self-selecting the appropriate payment. Additionally, paying on the higher end of the pricing scale helps support scholarship opportunities for folks from racialized communities who don't have the financial resources to purchase a spot.

Age limit: Adults only.

Please note this class will require average-moderate hand strength and may not be a good fit for those with hand sensitivities including hand injuries and arthritis. Please reach out to the instructor for more clarification about this if needed.
