Coiling involves combining wrapping a core material and sewing. We will be working with long-leaf pine needles, cotton thread and beeswax. You will learn about the indigenous history of this style of basketry, how to process pine needles if you forage them yourself, and multiple stitch-designs as we all work on our baskets together. Please bring: pair of scissors.
Class limited to 15 individuals.
