In this class we will cover the etymology of birch trees in Minnesota, discuss how bark can be sustainably harvested and hand processed into usable materials. We'll learn how to make birch bark beads, and produce enough to create our own beautiful, handmade necklaces. Other natural materials and beads will be made available to students during class. No prior weaving experience is necessary for this class - A great class to begin discovering your new appreciation of birch and weaving.
