This episode explores the work of the Natural Artists, the Crafters and the Makers, and all of those who make useful and beautiful things from nature. Sandra Kehoe weaves experiences with her students like the willows they bend, their fingers full of the rich scent of green bark and tree sap.

There is a longing by many women to form something that will last, but that impulse is paired with the feeling of warmth and connection that occurs when women share their lives in these classes. Basketmaking, like so many 'nature crafts', is meditative, and at the same time, energizing, as new skills are learned and the willow itself begins to share its gifts.

Sandra's journey includes the commitment to buying and creating a 'willow farm', planting thousands of willow shoots of different species, to bring this powerful art for future generations.
