The lowdown

Learn how to weave a basket out of local plant material! In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to use local plant material to create your very own small basket with the twined basketry technique. Twining is one of many weaving techniques that can be used to create both functional and sculptural pieces. It has historical roots across many cultures and is included in the 9 ancient weaves and textile structures that have shaped human history. You'll learn how to begin, build, shape, and finish your basket, along with knowledge on how to forage, when to harvest, and how to prepare plant material for future projects. You’ll leave with an understanding of the twining process and a small handwoven piece to take home, along with the knowledge and confidence to continue your weaving journey!
