Earth, Water, Air, Fire

Weaving objects out of natural materials is a natural accompaniment to gardening, growing your own food and enjoying the natural world. What is better than gathering your own home grown vegetables in a basket you made from plants from your garden or neighbourhood? A craft that dates back to the beginning of civilization, born out of need and yet each style unique to each culture.

The materials, born out of nature are gathered; roots (earth) leaves (water), flowers (air) and fruits (fire) are gathered at their peak and stored ready to create objects that are both practical and beautiful. Each material has its own properties which leads it s use in various creative directions.

There are many techniques to explore and develop from a simple container to fences or sculptures and everything in-between.
