Create Art from Nature:
Longleaf Pine Needle Basketry Workshop with
Artist Michelle Drake
Pebble Hill Plantation Learning Center, Thomasville, GA
Saturday, November 15, 2025
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the timeless art of pine needle basketry. In this introductory class, participants will learn the coiling technique using artificial sinew and recently shed longleaf pine needles from the Pebble Hill Plantation forests to create a beautiful hand-stitched basket.
Michelle is a self-taught artist with over twenty years of experience working with longleaf pine needles and other natural materials to create a more sculptural body of work. Her work has been shown in juried art exhibitions, regional galleries, and she has taught workshops and events such as the Mountain Longleaf Festival hosted by Jacksonville State University. Each class is an opportunity to share not only a skill but the ability to connect with nature, art, and tradition. She is honored to guide new students as they shape their own baskets and perhaps begin their own journey into this timeless art.
Visit Michelle’s website to see the various examples of her work and to learn more about the artist at www.michelledrake.net
All supplies are provided. No previous experience necessary just bring your creativity and patience.
