Discover the process of creating a traditional pine needle basket. In this beginners class, you will learn how to start your basket using a drilled wooden base (made from local trees) and then how to coil long-leaf pine needles using waxed (linen) thread. Next you’ll move on to shaping, so you can create a small basket. Then we will cover finishing techniques and different stitches, so you can take home a completed small pine needle basket.

Although suitable for beginners, this class will be most enjoyable for anyone who either has some basketry/sewing experience or enjoys working with their hands on small-scale projects. All materials provided, but we will discuss how to source materials so you can continue building your new skill. This program is intended for adults and teens 16+.
