Folded Bark Foraging Basket Class ~ August 18

$0.00
sold out

Date and Time: August 18th, Sunday 10am - 4pm

Where: Cape George, Port Townsend, WA

In this class you will learn how to make your own folded bark basket using Bitter Cherry bark I harvested from my home. Before harvesting, each piece of bark was intentionally and thoughtfully chosen for making these folded bark baskets.

The lashing and sewing will be done with various leaves, vines, roots or bark such as cattail, cedar roots, hops or willow bark. Cordage making is also part of this class to be used for the rim and the strap. There is an option to use a leather strap instead of cordage for an additional cost that can be purchased on day of class.

Dimensions and looks of your baskets will vary depending on your choice of barks, your choice of sewing material and your own creativity. *Size can vary from 6 -8 inches tall and 6 - 8 inches wide, this can be bigger or smaller.

This class is suited for all levels!

Further details of what to bring and directions to class will be given on registration.

Class fee includes material fee($40) Space is limited for this class allowing a variety of pieces for each student.

Cancellation Policy: No refunds on class fee up to 7 days before class date unless you find someone to replace your spot. Up to 3 days before class a refund for only the material cost will be given.

Plants that I use to weave, make herbals and teach with come from tending my own wild garden, where I have planted and encouraged edible, utilitarian and medicinal plants. Removing, thinning and coppicing weedy plants or trees helps increase diversity and encourages growth of native species. One of the principles I follow as a small business owner and crafter, is to have my decisions and craft guided by having a small footprint, striving for no waste and working only with natural materials.

Inspiration for the baskets and woven art comes from quiet observation of the natural world around me and the inherent beauty, strength and flexibility of each plant material. Weaving vessels from plants that grow in my local environment creates a more intimate bond with my surroundings and deeper connection to ancestors who lived closely with the Earth.
