  • Spend the day at 21 Acres with local basket weaver, Erin Cox, and learn a variety of basketry techniques while getting to know some of the weave-able plants that grow in the PNW. 

    Erin has been drawn to macrame for years. Many of the skills and projects can and do crossover with natural weaving. But a traditional macrame project with handwoven plant cordage instead of store-bought cotton rope would take a really, really long

    time to make. Super satisfying but way too long for a workshop.

    Insert shredded cattail – now we can make the background curtain in a flash and spend our time adding decorative twining, knotting, beads, braiding and decorations on top. Everyone will learn the technique for making natural cordage, a 5 strand flat braid, and more!

    All workshop materials have been harvested by hand sustainably and responsibly in the Puget Sound area.

    Class size max: 12 students, 6 minimum. Age minimum: 12 with accompanying adult (both attendees should purchase a ticket). The workshop will be held in the downstairs meeting room next to the 21 Acres Farm Market.

    The fee is $71.60. Click the link to register directly with the teacher, Erin Cox. 

    Class registration is NON-REFUNDABLE. However, if you want to sell or give your spot to a friend, I’m happy to welcome someone else in your place. Due to the nature of the projects (materials/soaking, etc) and the small class sizes, I’m unable to support refunds or credits.

    About your teacher: Erin Cox is a talented and knowledgeable weaver, crafter and artist with a special reverence for plants. She’s also been a willow farmer since 2024, when she joined the SnoValley Tilth Experience Farming Project in Carnation. She honors the cultural significance of farms, which historically have provided much more than food, including baskets, trellises, medicine, wool, and more. Her classes showcase a variety of unique weaving projects, leveraging some plants that you’ll see here on the farm.
