Learn the traditional art of sweetgrass basket weaving, passed down through generations in the instructor’s family. Students will explore coiling techniques using natural materials such as sweetgrass, pine needles, bulrush, and palmetto palm. The workshop emphasizes patience, hand-eye coordination, and attention to detail. Over the week, students will create several baskets, including a traditional rice fanner basket, while learning about material preparation, design planning, and finishing techniques. By the end, participants will take home multiple completed baskets and gain the confidence to continue weaving with natural fibers at home.
