The panel:

Cherry Chung Basket Maker:

Will be sharing ideas on what you can make and showing off some of the things that she has created from her harvest of willow and bark.

“From the start I was hooked by the direct nature of working some sticks with only my hands into an object which could be functional and aesthetic. There is a human instinct to make thing from raw materials.”
