- **Event Description**: Turn two days (March 21 &amp; 22) at Fibershed's Learning Center into your own pack basket and learn one of the oldest crafts in human history!About this EventFor thousands of years baskets served as indispensable objects in every culture. Carry on the tradition and take home a beautiful, durable and functional basket crafted from responsibly harvested, hand-pounded black ash logs. In this workshop by Penny Hewitt at the Fibershed Learning Center in West Marin, students will craft a traditional Adirondack-style packbasket with cedar runners, white ash handle and adjustable webbing straps. Great for harvesting, canoeing, farmer’s markets, picnic lunches and whatever else you would use a regular backpack for. This basket is made to last and be used.NOTE: ONE TICKET COVERS THE FULL COST OF THE TWO-DAY (9AM-5PM) WEEKEND WORKSHOP.All materials are provided to create your pack basket. The class also includes discussion on how the materials are harvested and processed.Participants should bring personal snacks, lunch, and beverages. Coffee and tea will be provided.No experience is necessary but the project does take good hand strength.About Penny:Penny is passionate about revitalizing and sharing traditional skills, particularly in the form of black ash and bark basketry. She believes learning utilitarian skills can point to alternative ways of shaping a culture that fosters land, tradition, and community stewardship. She enjoys teaching people how to use their hands and simple tools to transform natural materials from the surrounding forests into objects of beauty that are useful in everyday life. Penny is inspired by traditions of many cultures, and is grateful for the opportunities of connection to the land and people, past and present, that this craft cultivates. Her experience includes teaching workshops to all ages, as well as crafting for income, pleasure and to meet the needs of her homesteading life.www.lazymilltreecraft.cominstagramhttps://www.sloydskillsgathering.com/  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/27077f50-f02e-11f0-8091-69c6fa2035f7-rimg-w1076-h740-dc5e6147-gmir.jpg Fibershed Scholarship Program: Fibershed is offering limited workshop scholarships for our workshops.

These diverse textile cultures are designed to build soil carbon stocks on the working landscapes on which they depend, while directly enhancing the strength of regional economies. Both fiber and food systems now face a drastically changing climate, and must utilize the best of time-honored knowledge and available science for their long-term ability to thrive."
