The Minnesota Marine Art Museum studio arts workshop scholarship fund has been made available thanks to a grant funded by the Minnesota State Arts Board. While anyone with financial need is welcome to apply, the goals of the scholarship program are as follows (in no particular order): to increase the diversity of age and race in our student body; to offer opportunities to local residents of the Winona area; to support the learning of those with professional aspirations in a particular craft area; and to make our programming available to those with financial need.
An individual may receive one scholarship per year maximum. Scholarships cover full tuition and materials fee, though participants are required to supply any additional required materials.
About the Workshop
Immerse yourself in the traditional art of willow basketry! Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to weave your very own baskets using homegrown willow. You'll learn from Zac Fittipaldi, with nearly two decades of experience, he has guided students to create hundreds of beautiful baskets.
About the Instructor
Zac Fittipaldi began his basketry journey with a year-long apprenticeship in 2008. Since then he has continued to practice many different basketry techniques using a variety of materials from around the world with the focus on traditional European Willow and local Black Ash. Zac now has his own Willow farm in southern Minnesota with about 20 different varieties of basketry and ornamental Willow.
Support Comes From
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund
