A second session due to popular demand
Ready for an adventure? In this course, we will weave a 21” pack basket. This is our largest basket. This basket will be made with premium reed and will have either an ash or oak handle. All baskets will have a base, feet and pack straps of various colors. We will also have various color reeds available to give your basket a little color. We will go through step-by step instructions to ensure that all students finish their basket. This class is for any basket ability, even a beginner. Join us to make this beautiful pack basket and learn a skill for life!
Please bring water, lunch (we will have a 30 minute break), snacks, and anything else you need to be comfortable for a full 8-hour day of basket weaving.
