Immerse yourself in the freedom and versatility of basket, textile, and fiber weaving. With a focus on sustainability and resourcefulness, learn to weave using a variety of natural and alternative materials, allowing creativity to guide the process. Techniques like plaiting, twining, and coiling will be demonstrated. Possible projects include mini pack baskets, woven sculptures, bowls, and wearable art.

All levels welcome.
