About the event
Nature is the best source of craft material that can beautify and enhance our lives and homes. Participants will learn how to identify and harvest the correct plants, then how to weave them into nearly any shape you can dream of using simple basketry techniques. You will leave class with the ability to go into your own neighborhoods (or even yards) and create finer and larger baskets right away.
Rose, Blackberry, Raspberry, and more! These are the prickliest of our plant friends, yet they can be great allies in our basketry endeavors. During this spooky season lets dress up our baskets with a haunted vibe using some new plants and minimal blood. That being said, GLOVES ARE MANDATORY. The heavier duty, the better.
This class is perfect for both the beginner basketmaker and beginner forager. Each class will be taught twice, but no class requires previous attendance or other prerequisites.
