Happy Autumn from Woodspirit School!

Swedish Split Willow Picnic Basket with Jarrod Dahl October 24-25

We had a whirlwind month hosting basket makers Hege & Samson from Norway. Lots of willow was split and students made beautiful vedmeis.

Norwegian Vedmeis with Hege Aasdal and Samsøn Ovstebø

Hege gave a talk on Traditional Norwegian and Nordic Basketry at our Craft Night. You can watch her talk on YouTube here.

Jarrod also posted a video on Willow (& Maple) Splitting Techniques after being inspired by their visit. We hope you will enjoy these videos and get inspired to make splint baskets.

We have two classes remaining this year and registration is still open for them: the Swedish Split Willow Picnic Basket and Birch Bark & Wool Felt Ornaments.

Our last Craft Night this year features Jarrod Dahl talking about basketry and demonstrating splitting techniques, Thursday, October 23 at 6pm 1400 3rd St W, 2nd floor, Ashland, WI

We are working on the line up of classes for next year and hope to publish that mid-November.

Thanks as always for your continued interest and support of our school. If we miss you this year, we look forward to the next time we can learn and make together.

Best,

Jarrod & Jazmin, Woodspirit School
