Yes, this workshop is on Halloween! Come join us for a relaxed, super fun class on weaving palm fronds, also known as boondoggles. We will focus on weaving a palm rosette and a “leaf” to create little bouquets.  All you will need to bring is a pair of scissors, a chair, and a costume!

Let’s have a little Halloween fun!

Wear a COSTUME – a silly hat, funny glasses, or a full-blown get-up and get in FREE!!

Weaving boondoggles is an old-fashioned, traditional, heritage craft of the southern US. Each Boondoggle can be woven from one entire palm frond of the Sabal Palm, also known as the cabbage palm. Palm fronds have been used for centuries to create a variety of functional and decorative items. From baskets and hats to wall hangings and beach mats, the possibilities are endless when it comes to this versatile material.

The workshop is FREE for members (as long as you wear a costume!) Non-members are $5 (costumes also please!!). Please sign up so I have an idea of how many people are coming.

Because we don’t want any tricks, why not bring some treats to share!
