Since the late 1800s, Native artisans of Baja California and southern California have created beautiful baskets woven from pine needles, sometimes incorporating strips of palm fiber, juncus rush or other natural fibers. The pine needles not only have the aroma of a mountain forest, the base of the pine needle cluster can also be used to create striking designs.
Join us for a hands-on, one-day workshop, a rare opportunity to learn the whole process of traditional pine needle basket weaving directly from Kumeyaay master weavers, including preparing the plant fibers, creating designs and making your own basket medallion to take home.
