Weaving Course - Artworks from Willow

Without willow trees, the landscape in the land of the Wurten behind the dyke would present a different face. The old trees were used in the past to weave fish traps and for various household items such as transport and storage baskets, as well as children's cradles and harvest baskets. The wall construction for residential houses and stables was also made from willow (the word "Wand" contains the word "winden," meaning to weave; a wall was never made of stone but always consisted of woven material smeared with clay). Today, we can create small art pieces as well as functional items with a bit of technique and skill ourselves – a holiday souvenir of a very special kind.
