SUMMARY:Weave a Pine Needle Basket
DESCRIPTION:Saturday October 31st\, 2026 | 10am\n$40 per person\nEvery fall\, the pines drop their needles and most of us reach for a rake. Nancy Basket reaches for a needle and thread. \nPine needle basketry turns a forest floor’s worth of fallen needles into something sturdy\, fragrant\, and beautiful enough to hand down. Nancy learned the craft in 1981\, and  loved the longleaf pine so much she moved to South Carolina so she could gather her own needles. Her pine needle work has since toured the country and landed in museum collections. \nYou’ll learn how the needles bend\, how they bundle\, and why longleaf is the weaver’s favorite. Then you’ll start your coil and stitch your own small basket from the center out. \nIn this class\, you’ll cover: \n\nHow to begin a coil and keep it even\, round after round\nThe stitches that hold a pine needle basket together\, and how they create pattern as you go\nHow and when to gather\, clean\, and store pine needles so you can keep weaving at home\nThe Cherokee stories and family traditions woven into Nancy’s work\n\nNo basket-making experience required. If you can thread a needle\, you can do this. \nYou’ll leave with the start of a handmade pine needle basket\, the skills to finish it (and the next one)\, and a new appreciation for what’s piling up under your pines. \nNancy Basket is a Cherokee fiber artist\, master basket weaver\, and storyteller based in Walhalla\, South Carolina. She has spent more than 30 years teaching basketry and storytelling in schools\, colleges\, museums\, and workshops across the Southeast. \nPurchase your ticket at our new\, secure online portal here!
