The art of woven basketry is an ancient one, and there's something amazing about creating a beautiful basket with your own hands, held together solely through technique rather than with nails and fasteners. Baskets are a study in "continuity" and "community" - when well woven, there is no obvious "beginning" or "end", and every component is fully dependent upon it's neighbors in order for the basket to be able to function as a whole.

Come and spend a few hours with us and learn the techniques and skills to weave a basic flat bottom basket. This is not a "cookie cutter" class - you'll have the freedom to choose from a variety of reed types/sizes, colors, and specialty materials to add texture and interest, making your basket uniquely "yours". You can also choose whether to make your basket a square or a rectangle, whether to round the sides or square the corners, and a number of other things.

Difficulty: Easy to Moderate, depending on skill level

Duration: 4-6 Hours
