Basketry
A day of weaving in Chimbarongo, where entire families still live by the willow.
The willow grows along the river here, and the town has woven it for over a century. You learn to soak, split and bend the reed, following an artisan's hands as a flat bundle becomes a form with structure and grace.
It is slower than it looks and more meditative than you expect. You leave with a piece you wove yourself, and a new patience in your hands.
Every run includes
- All willow, tools and workshop time
- The piece you weave, finished
- A country table in the workshop yard
- Round-trip transfer from Santiago
There is always a table
Every run includes the food and the place it comes from — eaten at the table, cooked where we are, part of the day rather than a break from it.
“Patience is the only tool you truly need.”
The people who came
“Elba let a whole hour pass without correcting me. When she finally did it was one word, and I have not forgotten it.”
