Bark Harvesting & Folded Bark Basket
The northwest coast peoples knew of the
wonderful gift of the cedar and utilized her bark for clothing,
baskets, rope, and much more. Today we continue with this
tradition, following the pathways of long ago, while learning
one of the easiest and most useful baskets- the folded bark
basket. Join us to learn how to respectfully harvest cedar bark
while being guided through the steps of peeling and preparing it
for your own basket. Then learn the “secrets of the fold” while
you create your own folded bark basket. Split cedar roots, which
you harvest and prepare in the course, will create strong and
beautiful seams. While you sew, Karen will reflect upon the
importance of cedar in northwest coast culture. As time permits,
you may twine a carrying strap to add to your newly made
creation. Small amounts of cedar may be brought home to create additional projects.
