Wearable Willow Bark

  • Field and Forest Crafts 12535 15th Avenue Northeast Seattle, WA, 98125 United States (map)

When I wear willow, it reminds me that I can be like the willow - flexible, grounded, and full of vigor and resilience. I can withstand the storm or flood and bounce back - my roots are strong and I can resist!

Willow is an incredible plant offering medicine in its bark (used by humans for more than 3500 years!), habitat for birds in its swaying branches, stability for river and stream banks with its dense roots and so much more.

Willow bark can only be harvested for a few months in the spring and early summer but if dried and stored properly can last for years. For weaving, willow bark can be used to make baskets, hats, jewelry, art, and more.

In this workshop, you will make a custom pair of earrings and bracelet-to-fit. You will choose your earring beads (color/number/orientation), woven earring length/size, and findings. Enjoy a late summer afternoon playing with willow!

Class fee includes supplies for ONE bracelet and ONE pair of earrings. *Additional supplies available for purchase.

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.
