Basket Making with Andy Dobos

A Nature Makers Program.

Join Artist and Naturalist Andy Dobos for an afternoon of bark basket making and expand your wilderness appreciation. 

About the Class:

As you work with Andy to create your bark basket, you will discover that tree bark proves to be an intriguing crafting material. Tree barks are pliable when wet and stiffen as they dry, and can be used to create both purposeful and artisanal pieces. Along with basket making, you will also learn some tree identification and natural history. 

Andy provides a safe space for his students, in which he supports their efforts and encourages them to take risks and try new things.

Please note that peeling bark may be strenuous on the body and hands.
