Hello Portland Rewilders!
We would love to invite you to Rewild Portland’s “Rewild Skillshare”, our afternoon social networking event where people make new friends and hang out with friends and family while sharing skills, ideas and strategies for creating new cultures based on humanities ancestral heritage. We welcome all levels of experience.
What:
This month’s theme is pine needle basketry!

We’ve moved indoors for the winter months and will be spending our fun crafting time inside a cozy coffee shop called:
The Waypost
3120 N. Williams Ave
Portland, Oregon 97227
When:
Saturday, February 23rd
From 2pm – 6pm
(Class is a bit longer than usual since it takes more time to work on these)
Materials to bring (we will have extra):
• Pine Needles (bring a lot and they must be over 6 inches long)
• Rafia or Artificial Sinew
• Juncus Rush
• Tapestry Needles
• Awls

Other stuff to bring is your family & friends and a $5-10 sliding scale suggested donation to support our efforts. Remember: “dress to impress”. This is a social event after all! Also, we are guests at the Waypost, so behave yourselves and remember to make sure you order some hot tea or coffee. They also have great brunch options and specialize in potpies.
Remember to soak your needles overnight.
See you there!
