Weaving with willow requires moderate arm strength for pulling motions, hand strength, and hours seated. Beginners might find they get sore or develop blisters. If you have pre-existing conditions or injuries involving joints or muscles, it may take time or modifications to be comfortable. Weaving with willow is not suitable for all bodies at all times. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDeposit of $85 is required to reserve your spot and is non-refundable, unless someone can be found in time to take your place.
