Welcome to the World of Pine Needle Basketry!
October 14th & 15th, 2023
Join Artist, Sarah Soltow for a 2-day workshop learning the art and magic of these creations.
“When life gives you pine needles….”
Sarah, originally from Shepherdstown, WV, moved to Richmond, VA after a stint in Arizona. Surrounded again by green trees, then experiencing the pandemic lock down, she turned her creative urges to making pine needle baskets using indigenous and endangered Longleaf Pine needles from a tree on her property.
Her love for natural objects, for sewing, and for creative pursuit came together in the perfect storm to master the ancient craft of basket making, using the bounty of her tree. Soon she was designing, creating, and offering her exquisite little artisan baskets for sale.
Teaching others was the natural next step.
All material tools and supplies are included in the fee. Eight participants will make a basket to take home. This 2-Day workshop will be held at the Inn of Boonsboro From 10am – 3pm and will include refreshments. Fee:$125….
Limited Space Available (8 Seats)
