Students will create and complete their own small pine needle basket using pine needles from Long Leaf Pine trees harvested in the southeast United States. This is a 2-day class with one day in between. Students should plan to spend time between classes working on their basket at home.
This class is recommended for participants age 16 and over. Some "crafting" experience would be helpful
*Class participants should bring a small pair of sharp scissors and a hand towel if able.
