This class is perfect for absolute beginners or anyone wanting to develop their weaving skills. 

Basket weaving is historically a very practical craft along the same traditions as pottery and woodworking. This craft is perfect for modern crafters though. It is functional, beautiful, and sustainable. By utilizing natural materials, you can create lovely pieces to use in a variety of ways around the home. 

This 4 hour intro level class will focus on a footed basket perfectly sized to fit a standard mason jar (included). Use the basket and jar to display fresh flowers, snacks, a treasured collection or give as a gift, filled with a lovely homemade treat! 

The basket features pine “feet” and a wire bail handle with a wooden grip. Some color choices will be offered but note that color options may vary. The basket measures approximately 4x4x4 inches.

All materials and tools are provided.
