Instructor

Mo is devoted to willow and tending the living tradition of basket making as a response to the extractive and sterile overculture and ever-changing needs of the living world. She is a mother, basket maker, multi-disciplinary artist, teacher, reverent farmer, and community deathcare worker providing care for her community in emergent ways through the vessels and collaborations she weaves. She learned to make willow baskets in the Coast Range of Oregon, connecting her craft with the life of plants. There she learned about willow, its growing rhythms and patterns, and harvesting and curing of the plant for weaving and teaching others to weave. Mo is a guest on S'Klallam land in rain-shadowed Port Townsend, where cormorants dive and eagles tell glacial memory sky stories with ancestral lines from the west coast of Ireland and Main River lands in Germany.
