Using invasive English ivy, we’ll transform this ubiquitous plant into something unique. Using a basic basket making technique, we’ll create artistic and useful objects. You will leave the workshop with your ivy creation, and the know-how to make interesting things from one of the Pacific Northwest’s most problematic introduced plants.
Class size is limited and pre-registration is required
Registration closes Friday, May 22nd at 4:00pm
