All willow for this workshop grown and harvested in Chimacum, WA, by Mo and helping hands!

Coyote Willow School House
The Coyote Willow School House is an online basketry school and an open doorway for those interested in courting willow and acquiring the skills, resources, and inspiration to make baskets While online learning cannot replace the richness and depth of learning in person, this is still a great way for folks to learn! Our vision is to make weaving more approachable and accessible. We hope that by offering pre-recorded classes we can provide an opportunity for folks to reference the teachings in order to solidify the learning; something that is not possible within the time constraints of in person workshops.
