Create something beautiful while making a meaningful difference.
Join Brenda Vynalek of Blue Hills here at Mystic Pines for a one-of-a-kind Nepal Wool Basket Workshop, where creativity, connection, and global community come together. During this hands-on class, you'll craft your own beautiful wool basket using stunning felted wool rope, learning simple techniques that transform natural fibers into a functional piece of art for your home.
What makes this workshop especially meaningful is the story behind the materials.
The wool used in this class has been hand-dyed and hand-felted by talented women artisans in Nepal, preserving traditional skills that have been passed down through generations. These gifted women create each strand with extraordinary care, transforming raw wool into vibrant, beautiful fibers that support both their craft and their communities.
Many of these artisans live in regions of Nepal that have recently experienced devastating floods and landslides, impacting homes, livelihoods, and local economies. By participating in this workshop, you're doing more than creating a basket. You're helping provide direct income and meaningful support to the women and families whose craftsmanship makes this experience possible.
As your basket takes shape, you'll be weaving together more than colorful wool and creativity. You'll be connecting with a story of resilience, hope, and the power of handmade goods to support communities across the world.
No previous experience is necessary. Whether you're a seasoned maker or have never worked with wool before, you'll leave with a beautiful handcrafted basket, new skills, and the knowledge that your participation has helped support remarkable women artisans and their families.
Come create with purpose, learn a new craft, and be part of a story that reaches far beyond the workshop table.
