basket stool

When Katherine does a willow basketry demonstration, she brings along a large round basket to sit on while working. A couple of her customers (sisters up in Bow, WA) noticed her use of the basket at the local Mount Vernon Farmers Market. So they have ordered a couple of these to have in their homes. I’m not sure what they put inside of them, but when guests arrive they flip over the basket and have an extra stool. The basket is woven with a red barked willow and some hand peeled white willow that Katherine made. Below is a photo of Katherine doing a demonstration in La Conner at Art’s Alive in Maple Hall this past November. You can see her well used version of the basket stool.
