Join Studio TK as clay and coiling meet in this hands-on workshop, part of Baskets in the Garden 2026.

Join me Sunday, September 13th during Baskets in the Garden to create your own Earth and Fibre Vessel.

We will begin with the pinch pot you created in August with Brittany, using it as the foundation for your vessel. From there I will guide you through the slow, meditative practice of coiling pine needles, building form and texture stitch by stitch.

Participants will learn four distinct basketry stitches, along with how to responsibly harvest, prepare and store pine needles.

This experience invites you to connect material, hand and intention.

If you are unable to join us in making your own pinch pot (August 29th) I will have a selection of pots from Brittany you can purchase to work off of.
