Join the Primitive Naturalist Jeff Gottlieb (https://www.theprimitivenaturalist.com/) for this 3 hour workshop to learn the basics of invasive plant basket-making! No need to merely bad mouth non-native plants, why not find creative and useful reasons to harvest this abundant resource? We’ll make beautiful baskets using kudzu, wisteria, and other fast growing, fibrous, nonnative plants. This time, we’ll make Kudzu coil baskets. The teacher will provide suggestions, expertise, and guidance on how to build your own unique, artistic piece! Class fee is $30, and all materials are provided (though participants are encouraged to bring a sharp pair of pruners if they have them.) This class is intended for ages 12 and up. Note that the pictures used in this event posting are from a different basket class, and do not depict the coil basket-making process.
We will meet at the Mainspring office (557 East Main Street) in Franklin just before 5:00pm on Tuesday, November 4th. Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to park and get settled, the class starts sharply at 5:00pm. This workshop will run until 8:00pm. Depending on the chosen size of basket, participants will go home with either a small, completed basket, or a medium, partially completed basket.
