Celebrate American Heritage with Pine Needle Basketry
In this 3 hour class, you’ll learn to make a beautiful and unique 3” to 5” basket with longleaf pine needles and waxed serum. No prior experience is necessary, only patience and pine needles are the main ingredients for this natural and versatile basket. What better way to keep tuned to Mother Nature than to gather fragrant pine needles from her forest floor and sew them into baskets of natural beauty. All supplies for this class will be furnished by the instructor.
