Mewuk-Style Coiled Basketry January 9, 2011

Experience the intricacy and ingenuity of Central California Indian basketry. Gain an understanding of a thousands-of-years-old relationship between people and place as you learn to harvest willow and sedge growing along an oak-studded, streamside woodland. You'll be guided through the process of curing, sizing and trimming those materials, along with redbud, before using these plants to create a small, coiled basket with Sierra Mewuk techniques. Registration is required. Tel. 1 (888) EBPARKS.
