Pine Needle Basket
with Zack Rouda, Noble Adult & Community Education
White pine, Maine’s state flower, and Red pine, are ubiquitous throughout the state and provide a vital pool of resources for human and nonhuman Mainers alike. Pine needles are beautiful and strong! They can be coiled and sewn together to make hats, lovely usable baskets, and/or adorably tiny ones.
Learn to identify, regeneratively gather and harvest, properly store and process, and weave with pine needles. We'll cover the basics of coiled basketry, which is a global, ancient human skill, and create a wonderful pine-needle basket. Every participant will make a basket to take home.
Materials fee is included in the cost of the class!
** BROCHURE CORRECTION: Cost of the class is $75, not $65.

Much of what we cover can be done at home after the workshop so you can continue opening the hips and leg muscles on your own.
