Description

Using grass cordage and embroidery hoops we will create a gorgeous handmade basket you’ll have for years to come! No experience necessary! Join us in our studios for this intro to basketweaving class where we will weave a basket you can use for Easter, for bringing to the market, collecting eggs from the coop, or as a keepsake! Connect to an age-old draft wisdom that predates pottery and stone carving, and has been created by humans cross-culturally for some 10,000 years! This is a fun, hands-on DIY project which is easy to learn, very meditative, and is fun to do with others. Bring a friend or family member and join us- in Circle for this Covid-safe in-person class. We will provide all materials needed, and you will leave with a basket and the skills to make more on your own with natural, sustainable materials that grow right in your backyard! Suggested donation: $50, $20 minimum Pay what you can or pay it forward... No one will be turned away. Work exchanges also welcome!
