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 [http://woventhresholds.com/] https://www.instagram.com/woventhresholds/ [https://www.instagram.com/woventhresholds/]www.coyotewillowschoolhouse.com [http://www.coyotewillowschoolhouse.com/] www.funeraryartisanscollective.org [http://www.funeraryartisanscollective.org/] Support the musicians from this episode: ⁠⁠https://thearmaghrhymers.bandcamp.com/album/volume-ii⁠ [https://thearmaghrhymers.bandcamp.com/album/volume-iihttps://thearmaghrhymers.bandcamp.com/album/volume-ii] Full Episode Show Notes: woodland weaver.com/zigzag-6 [https://Woodlandweaver.com/zigzag-6]
