Make It & Take It - Pine Needle Baskets with Andrea Budde

Join Andrea Budde as she walks us through the basics of pine needle coil basketry. By the end of the workshop, you'll understand how to prepare the pine needles, coil and stitch the basket, and more. 

Some supplies will be available, but please bring what you're able from the following supply list: 

• long pine needles (medium-sized grocery bag worth or so); 
• small pliers; 
• plastic drinking straw that can be cut (like takeout straws); 
• thimble or finger protectors (optional). 
• Waxed thread in black and white will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own sinew, linen, cotton or similar thread - something a little thinner than embroidery floss. 

Supply Cost: $7/person (no cost if you bring all your own supplies). 

IN PERSON MEETING ONLY at the Madelyn Helling Library Community Room, Nevada City. Doors open at 6:15 PM for social time. The meeting will start at 6:45 PM.
