Step into the world of traditional craft at our Pine Needle Basket Weaving Camp, open to ages 10 through adult! In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to create beautiful coiled baskets using longleaf pine needles and raffia, blending natural materials with age-old techniques.

We’ll begin by learning how to prepare and handle pine needles, then move on to coiling and stitching techniques that form the structure of the basket. To add a personal, earthy touch, campers will use natural dyes made from plants and teas to color their raffia—learning about the dyeing process along the way.

This is a calming, creative experience that connects campers to nature and craft heritage. Children under 10 are welcome with a participating adult, making it a wonderful opportunity for parent-child collaboration and bonding. Come away with your own handcrafted basket and a new appreciation for slow, beautiful work.
