The craft of willow weaving looks back on an ancient tradition. Willows found ideal growing conditions, especially in wetlands such as the Rhine floodplains on the Upper Rhine, which used to be regularly flooded. The abundance of available material made willow and basket weaving a common and welcome sideline in our region when agriculture alone did not yield enough. Immerse yourself in this traditional craft and try your hand at it yourself in one of our workshops under the guidance of hobby willow weaver Juliane Eckstein.
