About the Workshop
Explore the art of basketry using handharvested and traditionally processed plant materials, including willow bark, cedar bark, iris leaves, and daylily leaves. Learn foundational techniques for creating a plaited base, twining with soft plant fibers, and plaiting bark to build the sides of your basket. Along the way, you’ll have the freedom to shape your design and choose the materials that inspire you. You’ll leave with new basketry skills, an introduction to responsible plant harvesting, and a one-of-a-kind small basket made by hand.
Students will learn:
- Beginning Basketry Skills
- Responsible Plant Harvesting
- About preparing natural bark and plant fibers for weaving.
