Nothing brings the memories of summer days spent rambling in the woods more alive than the soft, clean aroma of a pine needle basketry. Surprisingly resilient, you will find many uses for these moth resistant little baskets. Theresa English will once again, share her love of wild crafting with her students in this one day class.  

In this class, you will learn the basic steps to make a coiled pine needle basket. You will be using locally and ethically gathered pine needles (no trees were harmed in the preparation for this class). Baskets are stitched with waxed thread or artifical sinew. No previous basket making experience is necessary

Kit Fee $20  Payable on the day of the class which includes everything you need to make your basket. Pine needles, waxed thread, artifical sinew and needle.

What you need to bring:

Scissors 

Lunch 

Bring your own lunch or order ahead from The Crown & Turtle Pub on Main St. 

The Cloverleaf across the street, from the ACAC sells sandwiches and salads.)

Bring a sense of humour and a willingness to learn new skills.

Pending registration numbers, the final decision re class location will be made.
