STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 26\, 10 a.m.  FIBRE-CRAFT 101: \nThe Art o
 f Turning Plant Fibres into Bags\, Baskets\, Nets\, String\, Sandals. \nWe
 ’ve had some requests for a BASKETRY Workshop. This class will include Bas
 ketry basics\, though this class will not be only basketry. \nThe art of w
 orking fibre is nearly a lost art. You’ll learn to recognize some of the c
 ommon plants which yield a useful fibre\, and learn how to work them into 
 strings\, and baskets\, and nets\, and sandals\, and more. In the old days
  of the Southwest\, the lives of the people were literally tied together w
 ith fibre: for shelter\, for clothing (hats\, belts\, shoes)\, fishing net
 s\, bags\, weaponry\, fire-making\, brushes\, looms for fabric. \nIn the p
 ast\, most people had a more intimate connection to plant fibres.  There a
 re so many practical applications\, though today someone makes everything 
 we use.  So it’s become a lost art. \nYou will learn how to process a few 
 plant fibres and how to make them into a usable product! \n \nActual netwo
 rking!\n \n  \nWe will do a short walk (if time) and learn about some of t
 he plants that are useful for weaving\,  and making cordage. \nYou will th
 en learn by making some of the useful products. \nAlong the way\, you’ll a
 lso see many of the other useful and edible plants of the area. \nNOTE: PL
 EASE RSVP SINCE WE NEED TO PLAN TO BRING SUFFICIENT SUPPLIES! \n$65   (Sen
 iors and students $45) \n
