This workshop is a hands-on opportunity to create a variety of baskets from wild gathered materials. Come learn to craft baskets from native, naturalized, and invasive plants. We will be primarily working with barks and vines found in New Jersey; gathered and prepared by the instructor. There will be plenty of information shared about locating and processing your own materials from the wild (but we will not be harvesting in the park). Prior basket weaving experience is not necessary but would be helpful.

Workshops run from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day
Lunch is included for all participants
