Description :

PlantCraft is a 5-month, arts-based immersion into the world of plants where we learn by making and doing. We explore local plant ecology through an arts-based lens, weaving baskets, carving with local wood, crafting herbal remedies, harvesting plant fibers and much more. Each month, you’ll be introduced to local species of plants and trees and their use in a variety of projects. 

Whether you’re an experienced artist or curious crafter, PlantCraft is designed to help you carve out time each month to nurture your creativity, on the land, in good company.

Session 1: Wild Basketry | Sunday, May 10th
In our first session, we'll meet some locally abundant plants that can be used to create baskets and other vessels. We'll discuss ecology, ethical harvesting, process and working with local plants for basketry, and create a small vessel to take home. Focal species include dogwood, willow, iris and more. (Note: May 10th is Mother's Day!)

PlantCraft is guided by an ethic of care for the land. We’ll be working with plants for their beauty and utility, as well as investigating their role in the landscape. Along the way, we’ll learn responsible harvesting guidelines and practices for stewarding wild plant communities.
