Pine Needle Basketry – A Wildcrafter’s Workshop @ Chuckanut Center
Tickets
Jun 22 @ 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Pine Needle Basketry - A Wildcrafter's Workshop @ Chuckanut Center

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 too if you wish (e.g., thread, beads, decor, sewing kit).

Please register via the event website. Space is limited.
