Weaving in the Wetlands

As your hands work with native waterway plants, you’ll discover the deep cultural significance behind each weave and reflect on the powerful role of mothers and the nurturing ties that connect us to land, family, and each other.

This experience is perfect for anyone who wants to slow down, get creative, and celebrate the richness of traditional craftsmanship.

Walk away with not just a beautiful woven piece you made yourself –but also a heart full of connection and inspiration.
