Crafting Nature's Beauty: Pine Needle Basketry Workshop
Izaak Walton League MI
5641 Myers Lake Rd, Belmont MI 49306
Embrace the spirit of the forest in this trinket basket-making workshop with Lea Sevigny of Joyful Wildcrafting. Using an easy coil technique, participants will be guided through all of the steps to create a trinket basket from foraged Red Pine needles. With a few key methods, these impressive baskets provide a mindful, relaxing experience. Imagine yourself working by the fire in the lodge, sipping pine needle tea. A cozy experience on a winter afternoon!
All supplies will be provided, but if you’d like to bring your own Red Pine needles to work with, please do! Previous basketry experience is not necessary. Since it’s a longer class, feel free to bring a lunch or snack for your comfort. Participants will receive instructions on how to create (and finish) the basket, so it’s not necessary to remain for the full class time.
Space is limited, so email Lea@joyfulwildcrafting.com to find out how to pay the $12 materials fee to hold your spot. The day of the event you'll also pay at the door $10 for members and $20 for non-members.
