Wild Ivy Basketry - A Wildcrafter's Workshop

Please join me for an afternoon in the woods in late autumn to remove ecologically harmful English Ivy from the woodland and turn those vines into beautiful baskets! Dabblers, beginners, intermediate, and advanced weavers will enjoy this creative, social gathering. In this course you will learn: - English Ivy characteristics, growth habit, ecological impact, and dispersal - Ethical harvesting of English Ivy, safety precautions, and land steward tactics - How to process English Ivy for basket weaving material - How to rehydrate dried vines for basket weaving - The twining technique - Information on other forms of basketry.
