Instructor’s bio: Although Erin has lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years, it wasn’t until she discovered the joy of farming and foraging basketry materials that she truly formed deep ties to this place and a meaningful connection to the land. Through weaving, she found a new way to explore and appreciate the biodiversity of our region. In 2024, she began casually teaching basketry and wild crafting and established a small basketry willow farm in Carnation, Washington, where she invites students to learn harvest, and engage directly with the materials they weave. In 2025, she opened Field and Forest Crafts and her own private teaching studio in Shoreline, WA.
