School Of The Forest Podcast Episode Twenty One; Conversation On Hide Tanning and Reverence For The Natural World With Willa Moore With Willa Moore
Welcome to Episode 21
We're joined this time by basket weaver and hide tanner Willa Moore. Willa and I jump right into the first half of this conversation talking about her shift from growing up in new york city, to now living in Maine and teaching things like basketry and hide tanning, and how those practices foster a reverence for the natural world.
We also talk about the value of taking your time to do something and paying attention to the materials you're working with as opposed to knocking out projects left and right and not learning anything real about the process. Thanks for listening, and keep an eye out for the second half of our conversation next week.
