Join us for a 3-day camp out with basketry in the wilderness! Participants will harvest, process and weave from the wilds and learn multiple basketry styles and techniques. We will also swim in the river, enjoy meals together and remember our humanness though our weavings. 

Basket styles participants will learn in this workshop: square twined and twill cattail and bark basket purse, folded bark berry basket and a large willow and mixed fiber rib basket. Harvesting, processing and preparing the materials will also be covered, and participants will go home feeling confident moving forward in their basketry journey.

Participants must bring their own food and camp gear. bring everything your body needs for the weekend. We will have access to a communal outdoor kitchen supplied with propane burners, meal prep area and potable water for drinking and washing up. Complementary Tea and coffee will be available but bring your own if you are needing more or something specific. Potluck style meals are encouraged but not mandatory, bring more to share!
