Coiling Pine Needle Baskets

Course Overview

The coiled pine needle basket echoes the forest of its origin with many colors, textures and shapes coming together. This course focuses on creating a basket using red pine needles coiled around a birch bark base. You learn to collect, prepare, dye and V-stitch the pine needles, enhancing them with materials of your choosing – cones, stones, beads or birch bark. Materials include supplies so you can continue your efforts at home. In the words of a Navajo basket maker, “We are weaving ourselves into the world.”
