Weaving Willow Orbs is the first of a four-class series where participants can weave works of art for their yard and garden under the guidance of willow artist Mary Kopecky.
Mary Kopecky has years of experience creating beautiful art with willow, and, as a retired teacher and former artist-in-residence at ICNC, she is a skilled instructor able to guide participants through the weaving process no matter their prior experience.
