Weaving with Nature

by Isabella Forster

7/1/2026 starting at 6 p.m.

at Kaimuki Library

Have you ever picked up an interesting stick on your morning walk, a leaf, a little rock, or perhaps a beautifully sculptured seedpod?

These little wonders of nature’s perfect sense of design make it frequently into my home.

Way too pretty to discard, they are waiting to be transformed into little daily joys. They end up repurposed, often incorporated into tiny weavings, pinned to my wall and enjoyed every time I look at them.

Suggested supplies to bring":

No loom required and all you need to participate are some yarn, string or fabric scraps, some natural components like sticks, leaves, seed pods, rocks, shells, etc. A comb, a large needle and even a hook are helpful. Useful, but not required is a clipboard; if you don’t have a clipboard, bring some sturdy cardboard and some binder clips. Collect some items and bring what you have, and if you can share something, that is great.

There is nothing you need to buy for this activity. All that is required is your joy of making!

Also featuring a new supply of leather sample pieces, ribbon, and rubber stamps with proceeds benefitting the Orpha E. Herrick Memorial Scholarship.
