These super cute reindeer are treat to make! Using a special jig, we’ll bend and weave willow into our little friends. And then you can pick a jaunty scarf for each!
The willow we will use in class spouted in the spring of 2023, grew in the summer sun, and was harvested in early 2024. Since then it’s been drying slowly all year long until about 3 weeks before our workshop. At 3 weeks prior to our class, I will sort, count and soak that willow (fully submerged in water for 3 weeks) so that it will be flexible and ready to weave. Even these small reindeer are a year in the making. I share this in appreciation of the willow, weather, earth and water.
Each participant will have the opportunity to make at least 8 reindeer - my hope is for more but time will tell.
Minimum age: 14
No minimum registration because the willow will already be soaked so class is happening no matter what! :) I never waste willow!
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.
