baskets out of pine needles.

Join Karla to make your very own beautiful tiny basket out of nothing more than pine needles, strong waxed linen thread, and a large dull needle for sewing.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those with some basketry experience.

All materials, a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee.
