  • As a wood carver who is learning to weave willow, I am really grateful to come across your video!
  • I love this video as we as a society walk away from modernism, globalism and other 20th century evils, traditional crafts and arts will become much more important. :)
  • @ROOTSSchoolVT
    Thanks for all the love everyone! Already cutting the next episode!
  • I did enjoy that, thank you. However, given that green willow weaving is different to seasoned willow weaving (and this is the first green willow weaving video I've found), it would have been nice if Nick had explained the difference.

    I remember my mither buying a big basket in fiji around 1967.. she still had it up until 2019....
  • @leciadv
    I love your wisdom about 'materialistic'. It's amazing to me what nature imparts on us if we just allow ourselves the space to hear her. Great video. Thank you
  • @jg1019
    Amazing! I really appreciate the effort you guys put into your filmmaking, this video feels like an art peice in itself. I'll be planting my willows this spring, and I'm excited to start my basket weaving adventure.
  • Oh wow! What a gem! I made super ugly willow basket today and popped onto old YouTube for some help. I'm so happy to have found this!,
  • I just did a wild remote river trip. I’m a black ash basket maker but the ice dams reshaped the river I was on and the willow was amazing. I could not keep my eye off of it. I didn’t have a clue how to weave it but I tried. I gave birth to an ugly basket here in Montana. But I fell in love and want the next one to be beautiful. Loved running across your video
  • I've made a willow back rest , for my Tipi.. I have wanted to learn how to make Baskets.Im a visual person.Books ,do me no good.. one day , maybe I can learn.
  • @Linda-it6ci

  • @quartztemple
    Loved this beyond words! So beautifully filmed!
  • @shofarmvt
    Very nicely filmed! I was looking for more instructional content about willow and less personal narrative/personal philosophy about Nick, but enjoyed watching.
  • @tybrady4598
    I wish I discovered willow basket weaving at an early age.
  • Summer 2020 with COVID and other potential threats seemingly at every turn lol, and I’m thinking basket weaving would be a worthwhile new meditative skill to learn. Beautiful video. Thank you.🧘‍♀️🇨🇦👍
