Participants will create a 5-7 foot tall tower with woven sides and twining spirals that join at the top. Put your tower to work in your summer garden as a support for beans or cucumbers, clematis or sweet peas. Then, repurpose it as “tree,” decked with twinkly lights for the winter holidays.
This is a very physical class. Participants should be comfortable working on their knees, crawling, bending and stooping. Good hand and arm strength are a must. Gloves may be worn for hand protection. Adults only, please.

Materials: Please bring small, very sharp hand pruners, sharp garden loppers, hammer, lunch, snacks, and beverage. Pliers and knee cushion are optional.
Fee: $100 Members $110 Nonmembers. Pre-registration is required and closes December 7th.
Willow Garden Tower is part of a four-class series where participants can weave works of art for their yard and garden under the guidance of willow artist Mary Kopecky.
Mary Kopecky has years of experience creating beautiful art with willow, and, as a retired teacher and former artist-in-residence at ICNC, she is a skilled instructor able to guide participants through the weaving process no matter their prior experience.
