Description
Focus on three rib-style gathering baskets: the Catalan Platter, Lindy Lee Flower Basket and the Willow Gathering Basket. Learn the basics of growing, harvesting and processing willow. You will develop a variety of skills, useful for future baskets.
Jo Campbell-Amsler has been weaving baskets with willow since 1981. Her work is featured in magazines, books, and seen in exhibits across the U. S., the most recent being “Touchstone: A Half-Century of Craft” in the Speyer Gallery at Falling Water, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home. Teaching nationally, Jo has co-organized basketry events: The Willow Gathering, Willow Weekend and several National Basketry Organization conferences. She organizes and hosts basketry tours to Ireland, Scotland, Spain, France, Denmark, Wales, England, Italy and Peru, visiting with fellow basketmakers and learning new skills. http://www.willowridgebaskets.com
