The "Master the Possibilities" program, part of On Top of the World Communities in Ocala, FL, offers educational enrichment programs for life long learning and is open to all. The Pine Needle Basket Class is the most recent offering that I have taken advantage of.
(standing left to right) Sally and our instructor Pam Parins go over basket weaving techniques. Pam is a basket and metal artist, who retired from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee having worked as a program director & community outreach specialist. Pam now spends her Winters in central Fl and shares her talents at Master the Possibilities.
Our finished baskets. We all did very well for our first attempts and gained great appreciation for basket makers.
The beginnings of Jan's pine needle basket.....
Of course, I had to work my favorite beads into the final product....
