Natural Coiled Basketry

Saturday, November, 7th 10:00AM - 4:00PM Natural Coiled Basketry One-Day Workshop: Saturday, November, 7th 10:00AM – 4:00PM Create beautiful, lasting baskets with your own hands, using natural materials from your yard and neighborhood. This one-day, hands-on class is ideal for anyone who wants to understand and create with natural materials. Basket making is more than a craft – it’s a way to reconnect with your hands, slow down, and transform simple fibers into something tangible. As we learn to work with a plant material, we understand the biology of that particular plant in a new way. We connect with the environment around us and that connection gives our work a unique, additional layer of meaning. We will discuss the many plant materials that are locally available, focusing on non-native, invasive plants that can be widely harvested. The class will work as a community of makers. Traditionally, the meditative time spent creating together gave makers a space to weave community knowledge. Hands and minds joined, chronicling shared stories.
