Birch Ornaments &
Greeting cards workshop
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to make your own birch bark ornaments and greeting cards. Birch bark is such a wonderful material to work with, enabling you to make some stunning, one-of-a kind creations.
We will explain how to harvest the bark without damaging the tree by only gathering bark that has naturally fallen off the tree or collecting it from already fallen trees. You will also learn what supplies you can use to make your own creations at home.
​
By the end of this workshop, you will have had the opportunity to make three ornaments as well as two greeting cards, and you will leave with what you have made along with the skills to make more at home!
All of the necessary supplies will be provided for you to make the ornaments and greeting cards.
There will also be coffee and tea (herbal and black), mineral water, and baked goods served during the workshop.
About Your Facilitator
Terry is co-owner and operator here at Twisted Roots Farm and she has a deep passion for making handcrafted creations using materials and ingredients sourced from our farm and forest or from other local farms. She loves rekindling old traditions, utilizing simple and raw ingredients to create special, one-of-a-kind offerings that have a story and connection to place. Terry also finds great joy in sharing these skills with others, knowing that as we gather together to engage in creativity, making offerings with our hands, we are also building resilient communities and reconnecting with what it truly means to be human. Her spare time (what is that when you farm?!?) is spent writing, crafting, and creating, as well as cuddling our adorable goats, dogs, and cats.
