Sign up for the afternoon Maker Studio: Harvest Basket! You are welcome to purchase tickets to both classes, regardless of your basket weaving experience. Both classes will offer hands-on help.
This basket introduces essential weaving techniques and includes a choice of accent color, handle placement, and handle decorative weave. Measures: 6”W x 8”L x 3.5” tall + handle.
Our instructor will be Deborah VanderLinde. Deborah VanderLinde is a veteran basket weaver and teacher.
