Pine Needle Coiled Basket

Note: Registration is Full for this Class
Here is an opportunity to make a pine needle coiled basket using waxed linen thread as the stitching material. We will explore different ways of starting pine needle baskets and stitches such as plain and V-stitch patterns. Each participant can design their own basket working on ways to shape and create pattern with stitches and colour threads. Joan will have extra long California pine needles for you to use but she will talk about gathering and preparing local varieties of pine needles and other natural materials suitable for this diverse basketry technique.
Suitable for beginners and for those with some basketry experience.
This class is taking place at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific in Victoria, BC
