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.

Do you pay attention to the animals that show up in your dreams, meditations or even your waking world? Curious to what messages they might have for you - or how to unfold the meaning and message in the moment? Ever wonder if you have your own personal animal spirit guide? Want to know how to incorporate their messages and energy into this crazy journey we call life. What about nature totems (those guides or beings who aren’t animals in the science world)? Along with a great discussion, class will include a guided meditation to see what animal spirit or nature totem might be in your midst and also what message they have for you. Possible guest instructor with Angie that night!
