Learn to turn wild bark into intricate twill designs! Friday afternoon we will gather at a riverside pavilion in downtown Murphy to peel bark from a log and turn it into fine skeins of weaving material! Saturday and Sunday we will weave the bark into baskets! You may choose from several different projects: a bark hat, platter, or satchel. You will also have the opportunity to learn several different decorative twill weaves, and even learn the process for designing your own weaves! This will be a spacious weekend full of laughter and creative exploration!
