SUMMARY:WildCrafted: Christmas in October – Willow Weaving Ornaments
DESCRIPTION:Some of the oldest basket weaving in the world is around 22 thousand years old. This form of technology has served humankind, allowing for the storage and movement of resources; therefore, it claims a significant spot in our development as a people. Baskets also aided in the creation of other materials, such as fishing traps and ceramics. Learning this skill will allow them to understand how precontact and postcontact peoples moved resources across the landscape, as well as a lifelong skill they can use to create functional and decorative objects for their living spaces.\nOpen to ages 8 and up with adult assistance. The restriction is due to the strength required to bend wood and thick materials.\nGet Tickets HERE ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/christmas-in-octoberweaving-willow-ornaments-tickets-1994312143306 )\n

SUMMARY:Hands on History: Cordage
DESCRIPTION:For many thousands of years, humanity has utilized natural fibers for the purpose of creating twine or rope, also known as cordage. In this workshop, we will teach you how to identify dogbane, also known as Indian Hemp. This plant has been used for cordage making in this area for centuries. Once you can identify dogbane, we will teach you how to break the plant into usable fibers and finally, how to take those fibers and combine them together to make cordage.\n
