Join our upcoming class for a perfect blend of knowledge and spring vibes!Join our upcoming class for a perfect blend of knowledge and spring vibes! We will make this elegant and unusual plaited-weave basket that is found in the Netherlands, France and Poland. “Tatza” (properly spelled taca ) is a Polish term for breadbasket, for which use this basket is well-suited. In this class, experience in working with willow is helpful, but not essential.
Participants must bring: garden clippers, large pliers, as well as lunch
