10/10 spots left
RSVP by Thursday
Join us in learning the ancestral art of pine needle basketry in this hands-on workshop. Using locally and responsibly sourced natural materials, you'll learn the key beginner techniques to be able to weave your very own beautiful, functional basket.
You'll be starting your basket with a drilled base, using a pine branch "tree cookie" which is considered to be more beginner-friendly and accessible than the traditional coil start.
We'll be using pine needles sourced by hand from Marin, Sonoma, and Mendocino counties.
All necessary materials will be provided, but you're welcome to bring your own beads or shells for weaving into your basket. No prior experience necessary, just bring your curiosity and creativity.
Space is limited, so be sure to RSVP ASAP to reserve your spot. For those who end up on the waitlist for this event, don't worry there will be more workshops coming up.
