ELFIN CORACLE WORKSHOP
JUNE 97

 

At the beginning of June 1997 a group of 8 women and one gentleman gathered at a delightful farmhouse in Elphin, Ontario to learn how to make a leather boat from a willow basket. Thanks to the teaching of Olivia Elton Barratt from ( Millfield Cottage, Little Hadham,Ware ) Hertfordshire, England, it took only 2 1/2 days to build a willow basket, cover it in canvas, waterproof it and on Sunday we paddled around & around & around.
