Organized through Fall Kill Creative Works. More info and registration here. $235 non-members, $211.50 FKCW members. The class will take place outdoors under a tent when possible!
In this weekend workshop students will work to weave baskets with wooden handles. Students will learn to construct a traditional basket that is asymmetrical, with a rounded upsett, French randed and plain woven sides, and a novel border plus wood handle. Participants can expect to finish the class with a beautiful and unique basket. Students may want to bring pieces of driftwood or unique branches to use as handles.
This is an intermediate course— students should have prior basket weaving experience. Willow can be a challenge to work with, and physically engaging, this class may be difficult for a person with hand issues. This class includes an hour lunch break.
