Braided cat tails, cherry red dog wood & woven tree bark – these are the materials used to weave baskets with Sandi McNeil of Earth and Vine.
Sandi leads workshops on basket weaving and wire tree sculpture making at a cozy studio space tucked away in the natural setting that is Kawartha Lakes. In the winter, warm cookies are served from atop the wooden stove that heats the studio. During the warmer months, when weather permits, workshops are held outside. Sandi encourages workshop participants to gather inspiration (and materials) from nature and there is no better place than Kawartha Lakes to do so.

We are very excited about our new website. Take a moment to look around and enjoy our art, and our new video. Sandi will be offering courses on basketry and wire sculpture early in 2016. Check back and dates will be posted. We’ve been dragged kicking and screaming into the Social Media world as well, and now have a Facebook page. Please be patient with us as we learn this new (to us) form of sharing. We hope to give updates on what we are doing as well as occasional glimpses into how we create our work and where we get our inspiration.
