    • This workshop is part of a 21 Acres Guest Artist Series. We are pleased to make our space available to a handful of local artists to teach their creative classes. 

    Come celebrate our native Cornus sericea (red-twig or red osier dogwood) and native Salix species (willow) at their peak winter color and learn a new weaving technique, using tension and a simple over-under weave. We’ll work with dried, semi-dry and fresh materials to create a one-of-kind celebration of winter color that leverages the virtues of both plants. 

    We’ll make a hoop with long slender flexible willow rods, create a framework with ribs and weave fresh stems of dogwood and willow. All materials are locally and sustainably harvested by hand. Your finished tray will be approximately 12 inches across.

    Class size maximum: 12 students. Minimum age: 14 years old

    Class registration is NON-REFUNDABLE. However, if you want to sell or give your spot to a friend, I’m happy to welcome someone else in your place. Due to the nature of the projects (materials/soaking, etc) and the small class sizes, I’m unable to support refunds or credits.

    The fee is $60. Click the link below to register directly with the teacher, Erin Cox. 

    About your teacher: Erin Cox is a talented and knowledgeable weaver, crafter and artist with a special reverence for plants. She honors the cultural significance of farms, which historically have provided much more than food, including baskets, trellises, medicine, wool, and more. Her classes showcase a variety of unique weaving projects, leveraging some plants that you’ll see here on the farm.
