Mini Coiled Pine Needle Basket Workshop (Beginner/Intermediate)
Pine needle basketry is one of the oldest-known coiled basketry techniques. In this workshop, you’ll learn the basic methods of making coils from locally available pine needles (3-4 inches in length) and stitching them together with a needle to form a simple basket (2 to 6 inches in size). Relax and enjoy the scent of pine while creating a unique miniature basket!

Woven and Twined Bark and Lily Leaf Basket (Beginner/Intermediate)
Many cultures and peoples around the world have used a variety of natural materials to create baskets that are both beautiful and utilitarian for thousands of years. In this workshop, we’ll use woven bark and twining techniques (in which two wefts cross over each other between warps) to make small baskets. I’ll also teach how to incorporate different colours of leaves into the design, as well as how to make a lashed rim.

Mini Twined Baskets (Beginner)
Many cultures and peoples around the world have used a variety of natural materials to create baskets that are both beautiful and utilitarian. Grasses, reeds, pine needles, and bark are just a few of the examples of items that can be dried and turned into baskets. In this workshop, we’ll focus on learning about twining, a technique in which two wefts cross over each other between warps. A variety of materials will be on offer, including cattails, corn husks, lily leaves, and grasses, meaning each basket will be unique and created entirely from nature!
