Learn to harvest bark and fold into useful and beautiful baskets using the traditional techniques of our Appalachian Indian ancestors.
Nothing goes to waste. Students will begin by hand-peeling Tulip Poplar bark from freshly cut logs we harvest from our property. This variety of tree is a rapid and prolific grower in this area, and trees are selected to thin out the woodlands in order to create healthier forests. The peeled logs will be seasoned and used for firewood to heat the workshop in the winter.
You will discover how to use these materials to craft several different styles of bark basket. Incorporating other barks and natural materials, we will assemble and add rims, handles & décor to create one-of-a-kind creative pieces. Students will leave with several bark baskets and the know-how to complete more on their own.
A great class for those who like getting back to Nature & working with natural materials. All levels Welcome. Moderate hand strength helpful.
All tools and materials needed by the students for this class will be provided by the instructor, and is all inclusive for the class fee of $250.
