Meet Jess! Inspired by the diversity of willow craft, The Branch Ranch allows her to combine her love of the outdoors, crafting and teaching. Jess loves that weaving allows her to be both a student, continuously learning new things and a teacher, sharing all that she has learned with those who come to weave at the farm.
kind words
“fantastic basket weaving workshop”
“So fun, Jessica was patient, encouraging and provided a great space to weave in, and very doable skills to create a super satisfying end product. Definitely will be back! Thank you!”
