Eelgrass Sessions: Create Baskets with Eelgass

As part of an ongoing series of workshops hosted by Feral Design, participants in the workshop will get to learn some basic braiding and basket making techniques. We will be using eelgrass, collected from the Øresund, as the material for this craft workshop and explore together the handworking potential of the local marine plant. While participants won’t have enough time to produce a completed basket by the end of the workshop, they will have the knowledge to finish their basket at home.  

As we teach the handcrafting techniques, we will also tell a brief history of eelgrass and its difficult conditions today. We will discuss how eelgrass has held the ecosystem of the Øresund together for the last two thousand years, as it has endured rapid and cataclysmic changes brought about by human activity. And why it is today struggling to endure continued pressure put upon the sea by urban and industrial activity in the region.  This workshop will be held in english.
