Twined Basket Weaving Class
Basketry is one of the oldest human technologies — older than pottery, older than metalwork — a quiet and enduring craft carried across continents and generations.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the technique of twined basket weaving, a method that uses two flexible weavers twisted around upright spokes to create a strong, beautiful form. Twining has been practiced in many regions of the world for thousands of years, wherever people worked with plant fibers close at hand.
Together, we’ll explore:
The fundamentals of twining technique
How structure and tension create strength
Working with natural fibers
Shaping and finishing a small functional basket
This class is designed for beginners, though experienced makers are welcome. You’ll leave with a finished basket and the foundational skills to continue weaving on your own.
We’ll provide local snacks and refreshments from the Food Hub — because good work goes better with something to nibble and a warm drink nearby.
No prior experience necessary — just a willingness to slow down and work with your hands.
About the Instructor Vicky Mcgath:
"I have been making baskets and teaching basket classes for over 40 years. My first basket was an 8” melon basket, taught to me by a friend who had taken a class at the Shilo Inn in Seaside, Oregon. I was hooked! There’s so much satisfaction from creating a basket, whether for function or as an art piece.
When I’m not teaching basket classes, dyeing reed, or cutting kits, I’m also a piano instructor, photographer, and graphic designer."
Floor Broom workshop
A full day of craft, wood, and working fiber
Spend the day learning to make a functional, hand-tied floor broom from start to finish with Dan Hawkins of Bodge.
In this 6-hour workshop, you’ll shape your own hardwood handle using draw knives and sandpaper, then build and stitch the sweeping head using soaked sorghum and hemp cord. Along the way, we’ll explore the history of broom-making, traditional construction methods, and the practical details that turn simple plant fiber into a tool built to last.
This is slow, satisfying work. Wood grain. Tension. Fiber. Hands learning what they’re capable of.
By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a completed floor broom — sturdy, beautiful, and made by you.
What We’ll Cover
A brief history of broom-making traditions
Selecting and preparing sorghum fiber
Shaping and finishing a hardwood handle
Attaching and stitching the sweeping head
Clamp and sewn construction techniques
Care, use, and variations in broom size and function
Cost
$125 per person
Includes all materials and a locally sourced lunch at the Food Hub.
No prior experience necessary. Expect to work with hand tools and natural materials.
Space is limited.
Refund Policy: Tickets are refundable up to two weeks prior to the workshop. After that date, tickets are non-refundable due to materials and food preparation.

Winter Folk School: Hand Brooms
Clatskanie Food Hub | 80 NE Art Steele St. Clatskanie
$80 per person
Limited to 15 Participants
Light locally sourced snacks included with registration
Join the Clatskanie Farmer Collective's 3rd Annual Winter Folk School, where we will learn the art of broom-making from Dan Hawkins.
Perfect for all manner of small cleaning and sweeping tasks, brooms, in the form of fiber bundled in the round, are made and have been made in almost every culture globally. In this 3-hour workshop, participants will make a shaker-style turkey wing broom, while exploring multiple fibers and techniques common to broom-making today.
The turkey wing broom is remarkably simple. While it’s beautiful as an object, it was conceived as a functional (and disposable) everyday broom. That said, the techniques you’ll learn and the brooms you will make can really flex the boundary between art and craft, form and function, etc. There are lots of fiber alternatives, wrapping materials, and ways of incorporating more spiritual objects into the brooms as well. We’ll talk about all of these and more!
Participants will leave the workshop with at least one completed broom and, hopefully, the energy to make many more!
