Cattail: From Plant to Basket

In our first class meeting, we will spend time getting to know the cattail plant. We will discuss honorable harvest practices, exploring how to gather, and the many uses and versatility of cattail. We will also cover how to properly dry and store cattail leaves so they remain strong, flexible, and ready for weaving.
In the second class, students will bring their own previously harvested materials and begin weaving. Each person will learn the foundational techniques needed to create a simple cattail basket.
By the end of the course, students will leave with a handmade basket and the skills needed to continue their weaving journey on their own.
