NEW WORKSHOP OFFERING: Backyard Basketry: Coiling with Grasses, Cattails, and More  Saturday October 1st 10:00 am – 4:30 pm, Stone Ridge, NY 12484. 

Because most of my fall classes are full I added another to the calendar! It’s coming up soon so share with your friends and family. October is THE perfect time for coiled basketry so I’m thrilled to get to do this class with you all : ) 

Tuesday October 5th, 6:00 – 7:30 pm EST

Which plants are available to harvest for basketry in our backyards during the early fall? In this webinar I’ll be talking about VINES. These are a generally winter harvest plant so this talk will be applicable for anytime between October and the beginning of spring. (Why? I’ll talk about this along with with plenty of exceptions!) I’ll cover the vine category in general, plus specifics about grapevines, bittersweet, wisteria, akebia, kudzu, and a bunch of others. 

The focus will be on ID, ecology, harvesting, processing, and everything else you need to know to get these plants ready for making baskets. If you can’t make it you can always pay and get access to the recording for 3 weeks afterwards.
