Welcome to the home of Half Moon Baskets.

You can find my upcoming workshops on my calendar and see what I’ve been up to on Instagram.

To get a note each time I launch a new workshop use the email sign-up. This is the best way to get in, but just a heads-up that during busy seasons you might hear from me once or twice a week.

Email freyja@halfmoonbaskets.com if you’d like to chat baskets, workshops, or any new adventures you've been woven into.

What’s coming up

Gatherings

Workshops, weekends, and retreats across Alberta. Some are mine, some I co-host, and some are hosted by other people who have invited me to teach. Every listing says where you’ll be sent to register.

Winter is when the willow is cut, and when most of the weaving happens. More dates go up as they are set.

Somewhere else?

Since January 2025 I have taught more than forty workshops across the province, in craft schools and community halls, on a ranch, and around more than one fire. If you would like to bring one to your own place, I would love to help you make it happen.
