In this wildcrafting workshop you will learn how to weave a basket using the coil technique and Ponderosa Pine needles.

Weaving with pine needles and other coiled plant material is a practice ancient peoples from all continents implemented in day-to-day survival, conventional living, and art.

The technique requires patience and attention to detail before it becomes a relaxing, repetitive stitching pattern. It is a skill that is more easily learned with a little guidance.

Dabblers, beginners, intermediate, and advanced weavers will enjoy this creative, social gathering with Northwest Natura.

In this course you will learn:

• ID and Ecology features of Pinus spp. (various pine tree species)

• Foraging techniques and where to harvest pine needles

• How to weave a coiled basket using pine needles

All materials will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own if you wish (e.g., thread, beads, decor, sewing kit).

Tuition $65.
