Coiled Basketry with Linda Conroy

Learn to make a coiled basket using some of the sweetest-smelling plants-sweet grass and pine needles! Spend the day exploring the creative possibilities of this ancient art form as you design and complete your basket. Herbalist and wild forager Linda Conroy will guide and instruct you on how to start and sew a basket. You will learn various stitching techniques and approaches to incorporating other materials into the design of coiled baskets. This class is for students of all levels and great for those who like working with natural materials. Bring a small pair of sharp scissors, thimble, and reading glasses (if needed for close work). Additional supplies will be provided. Registrants will also leave with supplies to make another basket at home.

Class will be limited to 15 students.
