Basket Coiling Workshop

Come learn the ancient process of basketry! Coiling involves combining wrapping a core material and sewing.  We will be working with long-leaf pine needles, cotton thread and beeswax.  Your instructor, Alyssum Pohl, started coiling in 2021 and has made 20 baskets to date.  She will speak about the indigenous history of this style of basketry, how to process pine needles if you forage them yourself, and multiple stitch-designs as we all work on our simple baskets together.  Please bring: pair of scissors.  Class limited to 12 individuals. Suggested donation includes materials:  $10

Don’t forget that  there are Drop-In Handcraft Hangouts at the Bolivar Gallery the first 3 Mondays in August, perfect for finishing your basket!
