COURSE OVERVIEW:
This beginner-friendly class will introduce you to the craft of pine needle basketry. With locally foraged red pine needles (supplied), you will utilize the wrap stitch and the split stitch to create two lovely pine needle ornaments that smell wonderfully of the Leelanau Peninsula. You will leave the class with the skills and tools necessary to create additional ornaments (and perhaps baskets) on your own.
