Workshop Description:

Participants will have the opportunity to create a small round basket using traditional basket reed during this hands-on workshop. You will learn foundational weaving techniques while working with natural materials, and explore how to shape and construct your basket from start to finish. A variety of colored reed will be available, allowing you to personalize your piece and make it uniquely your own. Participants will leave with a completed basket and a deeper understanding of a different weaving technique. All levels are welcome; ages 14+.
