Suet Birdfeeder for Woodpeckers

Learn Simple basket weaving techniques as you create a cylindrical feeder with a hoop handle. Hang your feeder outside and fill with suet balls for the woodpeckers and other suet-loving birds.

After weaving we will learn to make our own suet cakes so you can keep it filled all winter long. Take home what you make. The cone also makes a pretty container for dried flowers or holiday greenery. Participants should have good hand, finger, wrist, and arm strength. Adults only, please.

Materials: Please bring small, very sharp hand pruners, lunch, snacks, and beverage.

Fee: $45 Members $50 Nonmembers. Pre-registration is required and closes November 16th.

Suet Birdfeeders for Woodpeckers is part of a four-class series where participants can weave works of art for their yard and garden under the guidance of willow artist Mary Kopecky.

Mary Kopecky has years of experience creating beautiful art with willow, and, as a retired teacher and former artist-in-residence at ICNC, she is a skilled instructor able to guide participants through the weaving process no matter their prior experience.
