The Weaving Circle

All about pine needles weaving! Join the group to learn this craft, or hone your skills if you've already started weaving.

Join us this Saturday, 2 May, from 11h to 13h! Let's welcome spring together.

What is pine needle weaving?

Pine needle baskets are handcrafted from the long, flexible needles of pine trees. This is an ancient craft, each piece is coiled and stitched by hand, reflecting the creativity of the maker, and resulting in designs that are both functional and decorative.

Our group meets monthly, newcomers can learn basic techniques and those that are already familiar with pine needles weaving can learn new stitches, and experiment with new designs.

The pine needles and all other materials are provided. In May, I will bring everything you need to make a bangle. If this is not your 'cup of tea', then you can work on a wall hanging or basket, as you like!

You have the option of registering for a 'one-off' session (£26), or register for 3 sessions and get a discount (£50/3).

I look forward to seeing you at Clitterhouse Farm.

For those who are ready, I can show you how to start with a swirl like this one.
