​A Gentle Morning of Weaving

​What if the rustling cattails that line the marshes could be coaxed into carrying your berries home?

​Join us to find out, as we transform these green blades into a small vessel for gathering summer’s sweetest moments.

​In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to weave cattails over a wooden form, practicing timeless techniques such as the checkerboard weave, pairing, and waling. Together, we will finish the basket with a simple trac border, creating a sturdy, beautiful berry basket made entirely from cattails.

​
