Weaving Stars with Bulrush and Bark - Saturday, December 21st

$0.00
sold out

Let’s come together and celebrate the return of the light on Winter Solstice by weaving some beautiful stars. Learn how to weave a large and visually stunning star from locally harvested bulrush and smaller three-dimensional stars from various barks. Students will learn how to weave two stars, one of each type, with the opportunity to weave an additional smaller bark star depending on time. The large star can be hung up on your wall similar to a wreath and the smaller bark stars can be hung from your tree. Both are a beautiful reverence to the returning of the light and make special and unique gifts.

Included in the cost is all materials along with some spiced cider and treats. All skill levels welcome, 15 to adult. Some tools will be available but students encouraged to bring their own.

Where: Port Townsend, WA

When: Saturday, December 21st 10 am - 1:30 pm

Cost: $70 (includes material fee $30)

Cancellation/Refund Policy: Only material fee will be refunded 7 days before class. No refunds up to 3 days before class unless you can find someone to replace your spot.

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.

“Plants are integral to reweaving the connection between land and people. A place becomes a home when it sustains you, when it feeds you in body as well as spirit. To recreate a home, the plants must also return.”
