Longleaf Pine Needle Basketry Class

Longleaf Pine Needle Basketry Class Learn the basics of pine needle basketry, an old craft with a long history.
Join artist Brittney Hughes to learn the basic steps to making a coiled basket from longleaf pine needles. Each participant will learn the basic skills of pine needle basketry and take home their very own creation (or the start of one).

Today, pine needle baskets and art are made primarily for decorative purposes. All materials (pine needles, thread, and small center for basket) will be furnished. Class is for ages 10 and up.
