BOOKINGS FOR 2026 NOW CLOSED, check back in September to book for 2027. Private tuition is open to one or two individuals at a time and must be scheduled in advance. $225/day + materials for one student, $300/day + materials for two students. Private classes for 3 for may be scheduled on a case by case basis. Classes take place on our farm in The Shed (weaving studio).
Learn the ins and outs of basketry here at our farm. Folks seeking private tuition will work directly with me to weave any basket of their choosing, within their (and my!) skill level. Most baskets will take at least two days to learn, larger or more complicated baskets may even take three. Garden supports and small simple baskets like berry baskets and trays will take one day. The farm is lovely almost any time of the year and you’ll meet our chickens, dog and cats. Do remember that willow can be challenging to weave and that these tutorials will be taking place on a working farm.
Organized through Windsor Farm Works. Register by emailing Marlene Pouliot at windsorfarmworks@gmail.com . $260 teaching + materials fee, $120 studio fee which includes lunches. More info here.
In this three day workshop, intermediate level willow weavers will practice making a larger base strong enough to help for a large round-upsett basket. We will also concentrate on form and control over your shaping. Fun side weaves can be incorporated to make a personalized and beautiful basket. As time allows, students can practice cranked side handles, a real-deal technique! To make the most of this class, participants should feel fully comfortable making a simple round basket on their own, including making a round base and weaves such as pairing or reverse pairing, three and four rod wale, and randing, and at least some familiarity around weaving a paired border. All materials and tools provided. Studio fee includes lunch. Learn more here.
