Find Wonder In Weaving

Basketry, macrame, and fiber arts classes for children and adults in Asheville, NC

How Classes Work

We connect the ancient art of basketry and weaving through modern, natural materials that are easeful to work with for kids and adults.

A sensory experience of soft cotton calms the nervous system and supports emotional regulation, providing a new tool for inner peace at class and at home.

While making a beautiful, custom basket is the main focus of our time together, each class brings a new, small weaving project too, such as macrame rainbows, circular weavings, and handmade headbands.

Children’s art classes take place in West Asheville at Firefly Valley Design. Our programs are outdoors, though for children, we do have an indoor space if needed for inclement weather.

Adult classes happen around the fire in Pisgah Forest in East Asheville, with a rain location nearby.

As the sun peeks through the leaves of the trees above, you’ll find us weaving and laughing.

“My teenage daughters found Star’s basket weaving the absolute highlight of art camp.”
