2019 PROGRAMS

In Crafting the Ancient Toolkit you will learn how to work with a range of traditional materials including bone, wood, leather, barks, wild fibers, stone, and more. Throughout the series we will cover the entire process of each technique– from selecting and processing materials to finishing projects that are both utilitarian and aesthetically beautiful. All the while we will cultivate awareness and appreciation of the natural world and the amazing materials it provides.

Want to explore the sculptural aspects of basketry? In this free form basketry workshop participants will have an opportunity to play with materials and creativity to make projects of their own design under expert guidance. Imagine a table full of birch bark, vines, cattails, pine needles, wood, branches, paper, wire, and other found materials and the freedom to explore. The techniques we focus on will be random weave and twining- both of which are great for working sculpturally.

Are you inspired to develop a deep connection to the art of basketry and the abundant plant materials in our natural landscape? Do you want to learn how to go out into the forests and fields, identify and gather materials, and weave baskets? Join this 9 month program to connect to your creative self and the natural world while learning the ancient skill of basketry. 

The 2019 Program is full and dates for 2020 will be released in November of this year. Follow the link below for more info.
