North House Folk School

Join local instructor Teri Smith for this two-day class and learn the art of coiling a beautiful sweetgrass basket. Hands-on instruction provides students with an introduction to the traditions and skills of basket weaving, and a discussion about how to identify sweetgrass and gather materials for future projects. This course welcomes students ages 16 and up to participate on their own; students 14-15 can participate if accompanied by an adult; no previous experience is needed.
