Elements of Craft: Willow
Paula Sundet Wolf making a willow basket
Elements of Craft is a series produced between WTIP and North House Folk School to promote interest in the folk arts. This episode takes a look at willow and how it's harvested both in the wild and as a cultivated plant. Will Moore talks to former North House intern and instructor Emily Dierke, who crafts wild willow into baskets, as well as Lindsay Lee, who grows his own willow for basketry.
