Wild Weaver’s Weekend

Wild weaver!

It’s a weekend filled with weaving, twining, cordage, edible, medicinal, and other fun wild plants!

Willow is notable for it’s flexibility and usefulness but, how many of you know you can weave bear grass, spruce roots, cedar bark, cattails, pine needles, and horse hair; and, which are edible and medicinal?

Before denuding your horse and depriving him of his fly swatter, we’ll get you started using willow, a nice strong, supple, and usually plentiful wild and domesticated plant easily attainable.

Not all willow is created equal for weaving, but they all contain one ingredient humans have long enjoyed, want to know what that is, come to camp.

Wanna be weavers and wild plant lovers, all it takes is a weekend, bring your family, grab the neighbor, don’t forget your best friend, and enjoy a playful time in the northern California sunshine!

Look for this fine camp to return this fall.   Stay posted, sign up for great information and updates now.
