Beginners and experienced basket weavers alike will enjoy creating their own baskets in this full-day workshop!
This beautiful and versatile tote basket with flexible handles features a ‘chain’ decoration in a contrasting color. It measures 5 1/2 ” wide by 15 1/2 ” long, with sides about 8″ high.
Through the day, participants will learn all the techniques needed, including square/rectangle base layout, basic weaving, twining, tucking, rim shaping and lashing. (We will break for a brown bag lunch onsite.)
Thanks to a generous donor, most of the materials for this project will be provided free of charge! The cost of remaining materials is included in the instructor fee.
