Weaving in the Marshall Islands is more than a craft—it is a living tradition woven into daily life and ancestral memory. For the Marshallese people, the coconut tree (ni) is a cornerstone of survival and creativity, providing everything from food and medicine to baskets, shelter, and tools for celebration and sustenance.In this intermediate workshop, join the Wodde Jippel Group to deepen your connection to Marshallese culture through the art of palm frond weaving. Participants will work in pairs to create a Jeinai, a traditional floor mat made with care, intention, and collaboration.
Following the workshop, we will gather for a potluck lunch on the lawn. If you are able, please bring a homemade dish to share. The Mill will provide coconut rice, steamed fish, and a fresh salad to nourish our time together.
Palm fronds for this workshop are graciously donated by Ricci Bezona of Bezona Botanicals
Level: Beginner, Ages 16+
Please note: Registration for this class will close on Saturday, November 15 at midnight.
