Reviving the Art of Basketry and Weaving
Are you looking for a unique and sustainable creative experience? Look no further! Our sustainable creative workshops are here to inspire you to use what’s available in your local area and bring people together through the art of sculptural and functional basketry and weaving.
At our workshops, we aim to keep a lost art alive by using sustainable foraged materials. We believe that by connecting with nature and utilizing what it provides, we can create beautiful and functional pieces while also reducing our impact on the environment.
Small Group Classes in a Tranquil Setting
Our workshops are held in an inviting studio space, nestled in a tranquil 1-acre garden with a gentle creek running through it. The serene surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for your creative journey.
During the workshop, you will not only learn the techniques of basketry and weaving but also get a chance to explore the garden. Our guided garden tour will introduce you to various plants, teach you how to identify them, forage for them, and prepare them for weaving. It’s a holistic experience that connects you with nature and deepens your understanding of sustainable practices.
Exhibitions and Commissions
Once you’ve honed your skills in our workshops, the possibilities are endless. We encourage our participants to showcase their creations through exhibitions and take up commissions. This not only allows you to share your art with others but also promotes the importance of sustainable practices and the beauty of handmade crafts.
