Join us at White Feather Farm for a Community Harvest Day!
Community harvest of cattail leaves with Renee Baumann! Come learn to harvest cattail leaves which will be woven into baskets in the next year!Spend a day (or part of a day) in a wetland and learn to sustainably harvest this abundant local plant material. This is a volunteer/exchange helping to make future classes in basketry possible. Gain some knowledge, spend time with plant-curious folks and trade your labor for a discounted basketry experience later.
All community harvest volunteers will receive one free materials voucher for our upcoming basketry workshops at White Feather Farm (Cattail Handbag Workshop 9/16 + Cattail Weaving Workshop Series October 2023).
Free to Attend!
Space is limited, reserve your spot today.
Renee is a Catskills-based chef and designer who specializes in working with wild plants and fungi. She rediscovered her childhood love for basketry when she was unhappy with the sourdough bread baskets she could buy, and decided to make them herself instead. She works in many media, builds cob ovens, bakes bread and pastries and obsesses over finding and eating wild mushrooms. You can see more of her work on instagram @renee_makes_things.
