Coil Basket Weaving Workshop

Join us for a hands-on workshop that will take you on a journey through history while teaching you the time-honored skill of coil basket weaving. Ages 10+. 

Coil basket weaving is an ancient craft practiced by indigenous cultures across the globe, from Native American tribes of the Southwestern United States, such as the Hopi and Navajo, to the Bedouins of North Africa and indigenous groups in Central and South America.

These beautifully crafted baskets were traditionally made using natural materials such as grasses, reeds, and pine needles, and served a variety of purposes—from gathering food to storing goods.

Explore the rich history and cultural significance of coil basket-making and create your own small coil basket using modern materials such as yarn and rope while applying the same techniques passed down through generations.
