In this hands-on workshop, you'll weave a small basket using pre-harvested wild vines such as bittersweet, honeysuckle, wisteria, and kudzu. Along the way, you'll learn how to responsibly harvest and prepare these invasive plants, transforming species that threaten native forests into beautiful, functional weaving material. Using traditional basketry techniques, including a split-spoke base, twining, and a rolled border, you'll leave with a finished basket and the knowledge to continue weaving with materials you can forage in your own landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flagmountain.studio\/\" title=\"Angela Eastman\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAngela Eastman\u003c\/a\u003e is the artist behind Flag Mountain Studio, where weaving serves as the foundation of her creative practice.
