This was my first time trying my hand at twining technique or basketry and I am now just obsessed! Adrienne’s class was so fun, and she very patiently instructed us as a group and made sure no one fell behind, also encouraging us to share with each other and ask questions along the way. 3hr went very quickly, and I love what I have made and learned from this workshop. I especially loved looking for grasses and learning to identify grasses before the class. Thank you Adrienne! X
