ACCESSIBILITY DISCLAIMER Weaving willow can be quite hard on the hands and wrists, as we are essentially weaving with wood. If you have pre-existing problems with your hands/wrists/arms/back, this class could prove challenging to you. Most baskets require moderate hand strength to weave properly. It is frequent that people mention having sore hands afterwards, and that people end up with a blister here or there (or here AND there!). If you have concerns but you're still keen feel free to reach out via the contact page.
