Join this two-day workshop and learn to make beautiful coiled baskets out of pine needles.

Using Canary Island pine needles, you will be taught how to weave beautiful swirling stitches that are identical on both sides of the basket. You will also learn how to begin a basket around a walnut slice and with a thread wrapped center.

This workshop is appropriate for beginners and advanced basket makers wanting to learn new techniques. Please bring a small pair of sharp scissors and a pair of needle nose pliers. This would be a great opportunity to get to know everyone interested in this fascinating art.
