Turn plants into functional art!
Join the Primitive Naturalist Jeff Gottlieb for this 3 hour workshop to learn the basics of basket-making. This time, we’ll make poplar baskets. Learn how to turn this abundant tree into a beautiful basket! The teacher will provide suggestions, expertise, and guidance on how to build your own unique piece. Class fee is $30, and all materials are provided (though participants are encouraged to bring a sharp pair of pruners if they have them.) This class is intended for ages 12 and up.
We will meet in Wildkitchen Supply (567 W Main St, Sylva, NC 28779) in downtown Sylva just before 5:00pm on Thursday, August 21st. Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to park and get settled; the class starts sharply at 5:00pm. This workshop will run until 8:00pm. Depending on the chosen size of basket, participants will go home with either a small, completed basket, or a medium, partially completed basket.
Please leave pets at home, and email Skye at [email protected] with any questions.
