Students will learn to make a melon or egg-style basket using willow, red-twig dogwood, and flat reed from start to finish. Many basketry skills will be covered including hoop-making, binding, rib fitting, and tapestry weave. Each student will have the opportunity to tailor their basket to their own aesthetic and will take home their very own functional basket, as well as resources and tips on how to purchase or harvest their own materials to make more!
Age Requirement: for youth ages 10-18.
