Teaching pine needle basketry in the sunshine last weekend

#AncestralSkills #HeritageCrafts #PineNeedleBasketry #CoilBasketry

A finished basket on a picnic table covered in tea towels to absorb the moisture from the soaked needles. Beside it is a pine of long leaf pine needles and a little glass pot full of copper tubes to act as guides to assemble the needles in an ever sized coil. In the backgrounds are hands working on a basket.

The hands of a number of people starting baskets with pine needles and different colours of raffia

My bags on a train - an ex army rucksack (£6 from Oxfam!) and a shoulder bag on which I have stitched various patches and embroidered coiling vines, and various queer and nature themed prints. My water bottle in a pouch I crocheted with recycled yarn, a mug I made a coil basketry sleeve for and in the foreground a shallow pine needle basket with a wavy beaded edge. Also a flask of coffee, because coffee.
