Come celebrate the dark moon and weave your dreams into a wild-harvested cattail 9-11 strand plait. Bring some of your favorite fresh high summer plants (yarrow, rose, iris leaves, dandelion stems, juncus, daylily, etc). Stems of these plants can be woven into your plait; flowers can be incorporated too! We will weave their summertime magic into the plait.  You will learn basic techniques and patterns with the freedom to explore your personal style and creativity.  This class is great for folks who are interested in weaving with plants.  Tea will be served!
