Просмотров 7 тыс.2 года назад
late summer I started closing the studio in for winter. There were still some larger gaps to be filled in. I used insulation, chicken wire and daub to cover. I also insulated the walls. In the last video I was talking about my work station for making baskets, in this video you can see what I did to upgrade that and how I work now. We also installed the stove and the French doors!

I am settling in well in my new work space and am trying out different weaving positions to find one that works best. This is still ongoing though!

building my artist workshop/studio with green roof.
Просмотров 4 тыс.2 года назад
The dream for this workshop started many years ago when I first really got into basket making. We never quite knew how to build it, where it would be best situated and we never quite had the time to actually build it. This year I realized that having my own work space would make life and running my business and creative practice a lot easier. We also had a little more time, with no other big pr...

Grading willow and update on willow midge infestation
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 года назад
After harvesting our willow goes through the grading process. A time to go through each bundle and grade by size and variety to make soaking and weaving easier down the line. This process takes time but also teaches me a lot about the willow as I can see how each variety has done and what it looks like etc. We have had a midge infestation in one part of the willow beds over the last few years. ...

How glad I am that our willow harvest is done for this winter. We usually have harvesting days where we invite people to help. This year due to travel restrictions this was not possible. So we set about harvesting on our own. We were lucky some friends and neighbors were still able to lend us a helping hand. We so appreciate you! Here is the story....

Lovely to see you again! I'm hoping to plant a willow hedge to keep the cows and deer out. We're in a drier climate, we have a few months of no rain or irrigation water, so maybe I'll have to use something that acts similar to willow with a lower water need. And of course, it will need more protection from the grazing animals at first.
Хорошее видео. У нас очень жаркий регион. И в этом году много вредителей на Иве. Я не опытный любитель Ивы. А у Вас так прекрасно растет Ива.
Я очень,очень рада вам,Ханна! Вредители на растениях это большая неприятность. Я много с ними боролась,но теперь мне 62 года,у меня умер муж и я решила иву покупать для плетения,т.к.выращивать ее больше нет сил. У вас очень красивые глаза и вы большая труженица,я вас уважаю за ваше умение и желаю здоровья и процветания. Привет из Беларуси.
Hello Hanna! I was just going through my subscriptions and saw a vid by you. Great to see your patch! I have an ongoing issue too will the gauls..I do nip them out as soon as I see them.. My bigger issue is deer. I had to fence/net them out because more and more were coming to the feast! lol . I enjoy seeing your varieties and how you coppice and Pollard. Glad you are well.. Cheers from British Columbia! P.S. Great looking potato patch !!
I also have deer raiders, I'm hoping just a couple of seasons will help them grow strong enough to survive being munched.
It is lovely to see you again. Thanks to you, I planted a living willow fence this spring and it is growing well now. Your channel is a great inspiration. It is so important to take the time you need. My kids are growing into their adult phase now, too, and moving out. It feels so different and as you described it so well: once everything calms down and you don't need to be so hands-on all the time, you realize HOW tired you really are. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and also your beautiful craft :)
We love the gate! 😻😻😻😻
Welcome back! ❤
Thank you for continuing to share. I am glad to hear that you are doing well, are healthy, and are enjoying your life. Do Well! I will wait patiently for your next video. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful adventure
Welcome back! Enjoyed seeing the willow trees
Thank you! Happy to be back...
Good to hear from you again, Hanna! 😉
Thanks! Happy to be back...
Would blackberry-vines be fine too for this process?
Can you use kudzu vines for this?
Hello Hanna, I love your video! I have ordered some willow v. caprea, would it be possible to make an arbor with them?
This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing. Obviously a wet part of the world… don’t know where it is, but it’s brilliant. I ove your work with nature!
Awesome
Хаанна, я вас обожаю ! И мне все ваши плетёночки очень нравятся. Смотрю вас с огромным удовольствием.
Where in the world would I find lengths of Willow like this to use? We have some River Willow on our property, but I don't know if that would work for any of these projects.
Beautiful video and finished basket but sadly not a tutorial. what type of base did you make, how many upright rods where put in, what type of weave did you do and how to finish off with a border.
Would really love an update! So beautiful!
Thank you Hanna!
It looks like it is better to dry the willow standing? If you were drying smaller quantities, can it be laid on its side to dry? Also how long does it need to dry ? I have often been impatient & not allowed my willow to dry long before making something & that later shrinkage shows. Once dry it is good for how many year's? On your steaming video, it looked like you soaked prior to steaming? Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Amy! Great question.
we also say thank you mrs Hanna for sharing your knowledge and experience to making basket
Are there any other materials? besides willow for making baskets
Hanna, Beautifully done! You explain things very well (without too many words!) and I love the music you chose to accompany the video. It gave me peace.
How do you get the plastic out of your soil? Is it necessary?
I would really like to see this structure as time goes on.
The willow I tried to use just broke, it wasn't anywhere as pliable as what you have here. What is the secret to getting willow that works?!
The music is amazing I wish I could get the name of the compositor. Thank you.
Truly amazing!
Thank you! Checking out the Free Course now!
I would really love to see how they look after a season !
freaky music
This is so awesome! Where can I find the species of willow used in your videos?
Is this only to be done in winter time?
In most places yes. Even so, it's always best because they are dormant
Fascinating. What a wonderful artistic ability and creative eye. You have fine tuned your processes and the finished products are stunning! Loved watching you create.
Hi, is the Japanese dappled willow good/recommended for baskets making and for a nature fence?
Do the sticks placed in the ground actually grow? Awesome therapy Hanna thanks!🙏
What species of Willow are you using. If they root and grow each will they not choke each other out.
Gorgeous basket - warts and all. Love the distorted shape.
好美
why did you quit
i love the way it looks now...but what will it look like when it starts to grow..and can you still walk inside of the tunnel when it does???
What is it you're using to soak the willow? The water is crystal clear. Whatever it is I WANT IT!!! So jealous watching you do everything with such ease. (My method is a lil more challenging 😂😆😂)
Wow! I am amazed, this is so beautiful! Thank you.
Thank you Hanna, i Love the repeating Structures, makes me Pretty Calm and kicks off my creativity, keep it up!! Love and Light <3
Very interesting! I wonder how it looks now after 2 years?
Clear, well photographed demonstration, with easy to understand instruction and tips. Beautiful beginning to the craft! Thank you for sharing your skill and expertise!❤
alot of work went into that i would like to a updated video of it
