Make a Glove Basket – March 7 and 8, 2026

A glove basket! Or how about a mail basket, or a mitten basket! A simple yet functional basket that can be hung on the wall near your door to store whatever you need to keep track of. This is a great way to keep your items in the same place and ready when you need them. Never ever search for your mittens again…or maybe your hat…or your keys!

In this class, you will create a basket that can hold many things. It measures 10” high in the front and 13” high in the back.

You will learn basic basket-making techniques, including:

• How to create the base of the basket

• How to shape the sides with start – stop weaving

• Taper the basket to be higher in the back than front

• Create a very sturdy rim

• Lash the rim with linen cording

• Finish the basket with a decorative wrapped handle

You will work hard during this class but the outcome will be well worth it. There is truly something magical about taking basic supplies from nature and making a functional work of art.

Your instructor will provide the following: All basket weaving supplies

Students are asked to bring:

• Bucket (at least ice cream bucket size or larger)

• Wooden clothespins (at least 15)

• Strong scissors

• Measuring tape

• Small flat head screwdriver

• Spray bottle

• Pencil for marking

• Apron or old clothing that can get wet and perhaps snagged

Since your class runs over the lunch hour, we strongly recommend you bring a bag lunch with water/snacks.
