Pine Needle Basket Workshop

Learn the basics of pine needle basketry, an old craft with a long history. Join artist Brittney Hughes to learn the 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. Coiling is the technique of creating baskets and art from pine needles and was a part of pre-Columbian Native American crafts. Today, pine needle baskets and art are made primarily for decorative purposes. See examples of authentic coiled baskets from the AMNH collection.
The Pine Needle Basket Workshop is $65/person. AM&G members receive a $5 discount. All materials (pine needles, thread, and small center for basket) will be furnished. Class is for ages 12 and up.
Pre-registration is required. Registration deadline is Sunday, November 9. Class number is limited to 15 participants.
