People in every culture have been crafting beautiful, durable and useful vessels from various materials for thousands of years. Come try this age old tradition and create your very own Market Basket with a wooden handle. This is a 2 part class, suitable for any level of weaver. Using traditional weaving techniques you will create a durable basket for storage, carrying, or a decorative art piece. Students should wear clothing that can get stained and bring an old towel to class. Staining of the fingers and hands will occur when working with pre-stained reed (the stain is all natural and wears off within a couple of days). All quality materials* included. *Participants should bring a pair of rubber gloves or disposable gloves, and a plastic bag to bring the basket home in if they wish to stain their basket. Suitable for ages 14 and up. "I really enjoyed the class, and students said that night that they were glad they participated. We should definitely do it again!" Vt State University, Patrick C.
