Join us for a full afternoon immersion into the gentle and connective rythms of basket weaving!
With local plants harvested right on Gaia Farm, we will explore the basics of French melon basket weaving as learned by Anna on PowerSalad Permaculture Farm in Avranches, France.
Come slow down, have some herbal tea, and let the colours, textures and curvatures of the trees guide your intuitive creative play as you cultivate the art of precision, patience and openness!
All participants will return home with a basket of their own to fill with nature's gifts and frolick in the forests and fields.
No experience is needed and all ages are welcome, as long as they are able to handle a knife safely (used for carving certain branches). Participants are required to bring a small sharp kitchen or carving knife for their own use. All other materials will be provided, and it will take place rain or shine thanks to indoor (greenhouse) seating options!
Early bird registration ends September 15th, and all registrations end Friday, September 26th.
A minimum amount of 7 participants will be needed in order for this workshop to take place. Be sure to invite your friends and family!
See you there! :)
