Learn basic rib basket-making techniques and take home your first Ribbed Egg Basket!
Join Kirsten, a student-favorite experienced instructor who will have you laughing and learning, she’ll help you ease into basket weaving with no stress, you’ll be amazed at how fast the time goes.
You will learn basic rib basket-making techniques. Thoughts on this basket:
-
This basket is not very big but provides you with all the instruction to make ribbed baskets today and in the future
-
This basket will be a prerequisite for the Potato Basket which will be taught later! (more on that to follow)
-
Making a ribbed basket is different from making a flat reed basket!
*This class runs over two days:
Saturday, October 26 (9:30-3) and Sunday, October 27 (9:30-noon)
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!
