Woven Thresholds with Mo Hohmann

Woven Thresholds is the vision of basket maker & interdisciplinary artist Mo Hohmann. Mo is devoted to willow and tending the living tradition of basket weaving. She is a mother, willow basket/casket maker, teacher, lifelong apprentice of birth, death, burial, and blood mysteries, reverent farmer, and threshold worker providing care for her community in emergent ways through the vessels she weaves. She learned to weave willow baskets in the Coast Range of Oregon and later in Ireland - connecting her craft with the life of plants and ancestors. There she learned about willow, their growing rhythms and patterns, the 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, Washington 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. woventhresholds.com https://www.instagram.com/woventhresholds/www.coyotewillowschoolhouse.com www.funeraryartisanscollective.org Support the musicians from this episode: ⁠⁠https://thearmaghrhymers.bandcamp.com/album/volume-ii⁠ Full Episode Show Notes: woodland weaver.com/zigzag-6

Historical Baskets with Steen Madsen

Steen Madsen discovered basket making through his early love of old handcrafts such as Stone Age flint knapping, rope making, hide tanning, and wood carving. In 1979, he was introduced to basket making while working with 7500-year-old Danish Stone Age eel traps made of willow. Soon he was growing his own willow and teaching workshops in basket making. For the last few decades, Steen has been a full time basket maker and basketry teacher. He keeps busy growing willow, teaching basket making around Europe and the US, educating basketry apprentices, and weaving baskets for museums, film and theatre productions, and collectors. Steen has also written two books about basket making: Flet med Pil, a beginner book in Danish and Baskets with Corners about square basket work, which has been translated to English.
