Nature Crafters is designed for those who want to be out on the land learning and practicing new crafts and skills which involve natural materials. Working with our hands and simple tools within a group of creative friends, we will deepen our connection with nature while producing beautiful and useful items! Depending upon the interests of the group and the materials nature is making available to us, our experienced mentor team will select a range of crafts to share, which could include pine needle basketry, weaving with willow, dyeing with wild-foraged native plants, wood carving, jewelry making, ceramics, and more! Our crafting studios will be trickling summer creeks, shade trees, and the wild landscapes of our local bio-region. Mentors will guide crafters to open up to the sights, sounds, and wonders of nature to enhance creativity. Along with learning about the ethical harvesting of any plant material we use, we will play games, tell stories, and sing songs to inspire this week of creative expression, too!
