Kudzu vines, leaves, and roots are good for basketry, clothing, paper, food, and medicine. Bales of kudzu can even be harvested for building material! In this class, participants will enjoy discussion, hands-on projects, and discover the diversity of each part of the vine. We’ll split kudzu, tie two pervasive vine rings together, and weave a basket using a random freeform technique. The second week a ribbed egg basket from kudzu and other pervasive vines will be made.

Artist and Storyteller Nancy Basket has worked with pine needles and kudzu for more than 40 years.
