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 classic basket perfectly sized to fit a casserole dish (not included). Take along to your next potluck or family gathering! When not serving food, use the basket to display collected treasures, dried botanicals, or pinecones.
Your finished basket will measure approximately 12x12x4 inches plus the handle.
All materials and tools are provided.
