Two classes in one!

Make a gourd basket. Perfect for a gift or to keep for yourself. Gourds will be pre-cut. Students will need to clean gourds, sand, and drill holes. Then we will sew white pine needles to the rim. We will be able to pick from a number of stains to finish the gourds. Gourds are around 4-5” in diameter. During this class, we will also go over the basics of making pine needle baskets. This is another great class to learn a skill for life.

Also learn how to make your own birch bark basket. We will head into the woods to identify trees, learn how to collect the bark from down trees, how to process the bark, and finally how to make a basket.
