Rolling Ridge Study Retreat (near Harpers Ferry, WV)
Learn how to weave and make your own egg basket out of materials you harvest out of the field and forest. Attendees will experience the full process of putting together a ribbed egg basket after harvesting vines and branches from plants they learn to identify for themselves. Each person should leave with a basket either complete or far enough in process to confidently finish at home. All experience levels are welcome, and youth are welcome to attend with supervision of an accompanying adult.
$75; scholarships are available
What to bring:
- Hand Pruners or a sharp knife (there will be a few spare ones for use)
- Lunch and snacks
- Water bottle
