During this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the basics of making baskets with natural materials using the “twining” technique. We’ll talk about which “brambles” we have in our area that are great for this style of basketry as well as how to harvest and prepare materials.
Then, we’ll prepare our bramble - English Ivy - by splitting the stems and discuss other preparation processes. As a group, we’ll each make our own twined basket learning how to start, weave, and finish. All experience levels welcome and all materials included.
Accessibility and other notes:
Flush toilets and drinking water available
Free parking available onsite; handicapped parking and elevator available
We will be seated for the duration of the class, feel free to bring a seat pad if you’d like for extra cushion
This skill uses fine motor skills and repetitive motions that may be difficult for those with arthritis or other joint pain/stiffness
Please bring with you:
Sharp scissors or garden clippers if you have them
Water, snacks if desired
