Pine Needle Basket Coiling Workshop
Pine Needle Basket Coiling Workshop
Create your own coiled basket using locally harvested pine needles.
Service Description
Create your own coiled basket using locally harvested pine needles in this beginner-friendly class! There are several types of pines found throughout Canberra and surrounds suitable for basketry. We’ll discuss the different types, understand how to sustainably harvest, properly store, and prepare pine needles. Then we’ll begin by creating a starting coil and using a simple spiral stitch that will work the basket and shape. By the end of the day, you will have the skills and knowledge to create a basket from start to finish. You’ll also receive an electronic guide book as a reference to give you the inspiration and confidence to recreate your own again at home! Knowledge required: This is a beginners workshop, no previous basket weaving experience necessary. Just bring yourself! Class inclusions: - All materials and tools are provided for on the day to create a small basket to take home. - Electronic guide book. What to bring: No need to bring anything but your enthusiasm to learn! If you've collected pine needles in your local area, please bring along. We can look at how they can be applied to your basket.
