Participants will also learn how and when to harvest sweetgrass and birch bark as well as how these natural materials are prepared for use in woodland quillwork. Participants will be shown the tools needed for woodland quillwork. Finally, participants will learn basic quilling techniques using natural quills and will have the opportunity to make an ornament using their new knowledge on woodland quillwork.
