Basketweaving with Invasive Phragmites

Phragmites don't belong in our ecosystem—they're running amok and displacing native cattails—but their fibers make ideal weaving material. In this basketweaving workshop we'll upcycle theses invasives in support of the environment! Melissa Hewitt and Mirabai Trent of Circle Creative Collective, expert weavers, will teach us the coil weaving technique which you can use to make baskets for years to come. Great for gifts and to use at home as catchalls and decorative accents. We’ll meet at Ferncliff Forest in Rhinebeck. All materials will be provided.
