Pine Needle Basket Making
Discover the art of traditional crafts at the Pine Needle Basket Making workshop! Join skilled instructor Chris Hyde for an engaging evening where you’ll learn the history and techniques behind pine needle basketry. This hands-on class is designed for both beginners and experienced makers—using only thread and a bundle of needles, you’ll start your creation, which might resemble a coaster at first, and leave with all the skills needed to make beautiful, functional baskets at home.
- All ages 9 and up are welcome, so bring the family along!
- With your paid admission, enjoy a complimentary drink token and earn a Basketry Badge as a special keepsake.
