Pine Needle Basket

$75 Originally: $25

with Zack Rouda, Noble Adult & Community Education

Calendar Mar 12, 2026 at 5:30 pm

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.
