Join local pine needle basket maker Karen McCarthy for this exciting two-part workshop designed to allow plenty of time to complete a small pine needle basket of your own!

During Session I students will learn the basics of coiling a pine needle basket, including how to start a basket around a cabochon center, how to weave so your stitches line up on both sides of the basket, and how to change thread. Students will have the opportunity to take their beginning basket home and continue working on it to make a larger basket or just return with the started basket the following week to finish it.

During Session II students will continue the basket started in Part I and learn how to shape the sides of the basket, how to do a wrap stitch, and how to finish the basket.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels. Beginners will find the workshop very helpful.
