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 sleigh basket perfectly designed to spruce up your holiday decor. Use the basket to display holiday ornaments, scented pine cones, little gifts, or dolls. This would make a very special gift!

The basket features a handcrafted oak base. Some color choices will be offered but note that color options may vary. The basket measures approximately 15” Long x 9” Wide x 6” Deep. Sleigh base is 20” Long.

All materials and tools are provided.
