Pine Needle Basketry: A Beginner’s Course in Weaving with Pine Needles @ Chuckanut Center
Mar 24 @ 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Pine Needle Basketry: A Beginner's Course in Weaving with Pine Needles @ Chuckanut Center

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

Baskets are thought to be one of the first art forms of ancient peoples, with basket fragments found in California and the Southwest dating to 9400 years, and coiled baskets from the earliest sites in Egypt dating to 7,000 years. The coil 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.
