SUMMARY:Catalan Purse or Market Basket with guest instructor Jesica Clark (2-day class)
DESCRIPTION:We are so pleased to welcome Jesica Clark (they/them) of Willow Vale Farm in Standfordville\, NY\, as a guest teacher for this intermediate to advanced class. \nJesica will be taking us on a journey into the wide world of oval willow baskets\, this time with a contemporary take on the Catalan base by Anne Mette Hjornholm.
