Pine Needle Basketry 

Nothing feels better than making something out of nothing! Join us for a lesson in doing just that; from pine needles to a useful, hand-crafted vessel. Originating in many cultures, including the Native American cultures, this coiling technique can be used later with dozens of different materials. Pine needles have been collected, dried, and prepared for you. Soon you will be able to proudly say ‘I made it myself!’
