ABOUT
Cattail Basket Weaving Workshop
Hosted by Sol Tribe Creations
Join us for a hands-on weaving experience where you’ll create your own beautiful and functional basket using cattail! This ancient craft connects us to the rhythms of nature while offering a mindful, rewarding creative process.
A Tradition Woven Through Time
For thousands of years, cattail (Typha) has been used across the world for weaving baskets, mats, ropes, and even lightweight footwear. In Europe, early communities relied on cattail for crafting everyday essentials, while in more recent history, it became a favorite for strong yet flexible storage baskets. Known for its durability and versatility, cattail weaving is an eco-friendly craft that transforms humble natural materials into something both practical and beautiful.
Why Try Basket Weaving?
- A Functional, Handmade Creation – Take home a sturdy, natural-fiber basket perfect for storage, decor, or daily use.
