One of the classes on offer at the Northeast Basketmakers Guild Summer Retreat. Learn a lovely little willow basket, useful for holding garlic, dried flowers or any its and bits. I have used mine to plant orchids into! We will weave a small 3x3 slath with pairing and insert stakes with a novel and quick upset. The sides are built up with a round of pairing, French randing, and more pairing before we finish off with a simple trac border and a handle/loop made from the stakes. What you will end up with is a small but sturdy basket that is easily reproduced at home!
