Course Overview

Join father and daughter instructor duo as they share with you a holiday wildcrafting project. The birch bark hanging basket is a wildcrafted, household decorative basket that’s both simple to create and equally fun to gather materials for. We’ll venture out into the wintry wonderlands here on the North Shore to learn how to gather our materials for this keepsake basket – gathering birch bark from fallen birch trees, willow twigs for a bent handle-hanger together and a little salvaged lumber for the base. The basket is a perfect holiday project for displaying evergreen boughs, and can be used throughout the year for indoor and outdoor decorating, holding dried and fresh flowers. Adult-child pairs are strongly encouraged to enroll together, but adult participants are welcome to join us on their own, in hopes you’ll share this wonderful craft with a little one in your life.
