This is a basketry workshop designed for beginners yet with the scope to accommodate the interests of intermediate basket weavers as well. Ralph will be introducing locally collected plant fibres namely, common rush (Juncus effusus), as well as daylily, iris blades, and some grasses. Participants will learn about foraging for fibres, processing and storage techniques, and how to prepare the fibres for use in weaving.

This event will be happening at AX Arts and Culture Centre of Sussex, 12 Maple Ave., Sussex, NB.
