Extra Large Market Basket Weaving

A next step in basketry workshops for students who already have completed Intro to Basketweaving, or have some basic basketweaving experience, and would like to build their skills in classic flat-reed basketry. This comprehensive workshop will focus on learning how to design your own variation of an extra-large handled market basket, determine the materials you will need, measure and cut the materials, dye your materials, weave a solid base in your basket, and create a chain or zipper pattern and angled sides using traditional weaving techniques. At the end of this four-week class, you will not only walk away with an incredibly useful and beautiful market basket you can use every day, but the skills to design and weave traditional flat reed basketry on your own.
