(Waitlist) Kurv Lerrett Basket – March 23 & 24, 2024

It is time to learn how to make a Tote Basket! A simple yet great tote, you can choose any colors of reed to color your basket. You will learn how to add a lattice bottom. Carry all your knitting or paperwork or favorite project anywhere you need to go with this woven tote.

You will learn basic basket-making techniques, including how to:

• Create the base
• Shape the sides with start-stop weaving
• Create a very sturdy rim
• Lash the rim with flat reed
• Add decorative reed for accent if you wish with colored reed.
• Weave the shaker woven tape for handles

*This class runs over two days:
Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 23

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. You will love this class!
