Waldorf Night School: Basket Weaving with Ina Jaehnig
September 26, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Basket Weaving with Ina Jaehnig
Yes, our high school students study literature, the constitution, quadratic equations, organic chemistry, and computer programming. They play in the orchestra and sing in chorus. They perform a class play and work hard with grace and resilience on our sports teams. But did you know they are also proficient in basketry?! Basketry is a part of our practical arts curriculum in the 9th grade, serving as a foundation for copper work, stone carving, blacksmithing, and more. To be able to coordinate with both head and hands to give shape and life to a medium requires intention, attention to detail, perseverance, and adaptability. Yes, they get to take home a functional and beautiful basket. But moreover, they will carry forward their developed character and skills for a lifetime!
Now is your chance to experience a lesson in basketry with DWS co-founder Ina Jaehnig. Ina will lead a two-night series for parents interested in making their own basket and learning more about Waldorf education. Come make a basket to take home, share in conversation, and build community with us! Bring a mug if you’d like to sip some warm tea while working in our high school art room.
Date: Tuesdays 9/26 and 10/3
Time: 6:30-8:00 pm MT
Location: high school art room
Please register by 9/17 to reserve a spot so we can ensure we have enough supplies.
