Description:
Learn how to use the bark of North Idaho’s native birch trees to weave beautiful and functional sheaths for knives or other sharp edge tools. The bark of birch trees has been used for centuries by various northern cultures around the globe to make containers, homes, canoes and more. The two styles of sheaths we will explore are rooted in Scandinavian tradition. This class does not require prior experience in weaving.
