Step into the quiet intelligence of the forest and learn the intuitive art of branch weaving. In this hands-on class, we’ll work with fallen branches and natural fibers to create simple woven forms—sculptural, functional, or symbolic—guided by the materials themselves.
This is not about forcing nature into a design, but about listening: noticing the curve of a branch, the tension between fibers, and the way the forest already knows how it wants to be woven. You’ll learn basic branch-weaving techniques, how to select and prepare materials, and how to let structure emerge organically rather than from a rigid plan.
Expect a slow, grounding experience that blends craft, mindfulness, and relationship with place. No prior weaving experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to work with what’s present.
