About the Instructor:

Gwen enjoys passing along the ancient craft of willow basketry. She has been teaching classes for the past 12 years and is excited to share the fun and satisfaction of working with such a supple, durable, locally available material. Passing on the skills and techniques of basketry is an important aspect to honouring her teachers and ensuring basketry remains available to anyone with the interest to learn.
