Willow weaving workshop with Jacki Bedworth!! Please RSVP!

This lovely fall I have been looking around at all the wonderful natural materials from the wild and from the garden that could be made into beautiful and useful objects to adorn our homes and give as gifts. At our next meeting on November 13 we will have a chance to put some of this natural material to use!

Willow weaver, Jacki Bedworth, has come up with a fun project for us to work on.  She will teach us how to make a bottle coaster as pictured below.  We will use a premade, drilled wooden base. We'll weave with white willow and a variety of natural materials (daylily leaves, iris leaves, tamarack twigs and maybe some dogwood twigs).

Jack said she will look for some other pictures. I will share what she sends me in the meeting reminder email next week!

Cost of this project for materials is $7.50.  I will plan on about 10 participants but it would be good to know who is planning to participate in the workshop so Jacki knows what materials to bring if we go over ten participants. There may also be materials available to purchase for those wishing to make more coasters. Hope to see you all there!!

If you do not plan to participate in the workshop, please come to the meeting and enjoy refreshments and communing with other gardeners!!
