2019 PROGRAMS

In this workshop you will dive into the hands-on experience of respectfully processing a tree to harvest the inner bark for weaving baskets. Throughout the weekend there will be discussion on what makes a good ‘basket tree’, identification, and respectfully harvesting plant materials. Join to gain a deeper look at what it is to make a basket and gain the skills to harvest the inner bark from trees in your own landscape.

What is better than leaving a basketry workshop with a finished basket? Going home with a whole collection of baskets! In this multi-day workshop you will get an introduction to three classic basketry techniques while making miniature or small baskets. Coiling, twining, and folded bark techniques will all be covered in detail and by making multiple small baskets you have a chance to really get to know each technique. This weekend intensive is perfect for those who are traveling further to attend and want to get a great taste of the world of basketry in a weekend.

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.
