Intentional basket 2 day willow weaving course - release and reconnect
There is a certain beauty in weaving, the smell of the willow, the feel of the bark, seeing your very own grow in front of your eyes.
This will be a two day workshop where you'll have the opportunity to learn about different weaving materials, how to collect and prepare them and most importantly on this day, how to weave a round base, sides and a simple border mindfully and intentionally.
You will have the opportunity to set your intension for the basket at the beginning of the first day and if you so wish, at the end of the day, (disclaimer signature needed) burn your basket to release your intention. On the second day, you will create another basket mindfully and intentionally to hold your future hopes and dreams to take home with you.
Rowenna has over 20 years of experience in leading workshops and is an experienced Arts in Health practitioner, having worked in the private and public sector leading workshops and creating commissioned work from simple baskets to 8' snowdrops.
The workshop will be held near Bala, nestled between the Berwyn hills and the legendary Llyn Tegid.
