Event:
Using carefully prepared materials, participants will learn to attach and coil longleaf pine needles around a gourd, crafting a unique and functional bowl. All materials will be provided, including hand-harvested longleaf pine needles from the sandhills of South Carolina. This workshop welcomes all experience levels as we explore the traditional art of coiled basketry, blending natural materials into a beautifully crafted piece. ($75; $60 for members)
