Coiled Pine Needle Basketry

Sunday October 30th 2022

CLASS IS FULL –  FILL OUT THE REGISTRATION FORM OR EMAIL ME AT KATIEGROVEART@GMAIL.COM TO GET ON THE WAITLIST

In this workshop participants will work with longleaf pine needles to create a beautiful and classic basket coiled basket. This is an ancient technique found all over the world in which bundles of material are sewn together in a spiral pattern to build the basket. In this project we will use a wooden round as the basket center and begin with a line stitch and soon progress to learn a variety of other stitches, including V stitch, wheat stitch, and core wrapping. Depending on the colors of waxed linen or embroidery floss you choose, the overall pattern and look of your basket will be totally unique. Overall size is approximately 4-5″ diameter and 2″-3″ tall. This workshop is great for either beginners or those who have coiled with other materials and want to learn stitch patterns and advance their skills. It requires some dexterity and finger strength.

Details, dates, info about the weekend are below.

What does it look like to make a basket?

To see some examples of baskets and student experiences from single day workshops check out the blog posts below or visit my current/past workshops page. There is such an amazing array of students that take my classes and I’m always impressed with the creativity and individuality that comes out when a person sits down and allows themselves the time to make something beautiful with their hands.
