Willow Orb Making

Saturday, November 19, 2016

Join Cedar Rapids willow artist Mary Kopecky for a fun day of creating with willow. Willow orbs are an attractive addition to the garden year-round.Birds perch on them;the breeze moves the min gentle orbits. They can be used as hanging ornaments or nestled on the ground to accent tall plants. Deck them with tiny lights for a holiday centerpiece or chandelier.Participants will leave with a completed orb and the skills to make many more! In this class you will make a simple frame and layer on randomly woven willow to flesh out the shape. No prior weaving experience is needed, but participants need to have good hand and arm strength and the ability to pre bend the willow rods against your leg while you are seated. Bring a sack lunch, an old towel and sharp hand pruners. Cost is $50. Please call 319-892-6485 to register or if you have any questions. Registration deadline is November 11
