The community is invited to learn the art of stem basket weaving with Jelena Clay on Saturday, Nov. 2, from 9 to 1 p.m., at Volcano Art Center’s Ni‘aulani Campus in Volcano Village.
The class will teach students how to take a palm seed stem and craft it into a defined shape that can hang from a wall. The baskets will have a leather hanger and take shape from a mold created by students during the workshop. All supplies will be provided, including dyes to add color.
Participants are invited to bring a favorite bead or seed pod to incorporate into their project. Embellishments will be available for students to add to their work.
