Create your own unique twined basket using fragrant, soft, and strong natural materials in this hands-on workshop!
About this Event

Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn the art of crafting delicate, twined baskets using a charming, diminutive relative of tule. Not only is this natural material beautifully fragrant, but its strength and softness make it perfect for a variety of weaving techniques. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, this workshop invites you to explore the soothing rhythms of weaving while creating a unique, functional piece of art. Come immerse yourself in the process, and leave with your very own handmade basket!

Participants must bring a water bowl, a pair of scissors and lunch !
