Join the Primitive Naturalist Jeff Gottlieb for this 3 hour workshop to learn the basics of basket-making!
Participants will learn the basket-making process from start to finish, including how to process raw materials for best results.
Learn how to turn nonnative, invasive plants into a beautiful basket! The teacher will provide suggestions, expertise, and guidance on how to build your own unique piece. Class fee is $30, and all materials are provided (though participants are encouraged to bring a sharp pair of pruners if they have them.) This class is intended for ages 12 and up.

We will meet at Olive’s Porch (27 Peachtree St, Murphy, NC 28906) in downtown Murphy just before 5:00pm on Wednesday, August 19th. Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to park and get settled; the class starts sharply at 5:00pm. This workshop will run until 8:00pm. Depending on the chosen size of basket, participants will go home with either a small, completed basket, or a medium, partially completed basket.
