Basic Pine Needle Basketry Class

Event Description
Learn the basics of pine needle basket coiling, an old craft with a long history.
Join artist Brittney Hughes to learn the basic steps to making a coiled basket from longleaf pine needles. Each participant will learn the basic skills of pine needle basketry and take home their very own creation. The art of coiling baskets is universally common to indigenous peoples.
