Since 2012, Hawai'i-based artist Gaye Chan has foraged plastic baling straps and developed a weaving technique to make containers while learning a basic skill practiced around the globe: basket making. Chan’s basket making practice extends the life of an otherwise single-use material through craft and skill sharing.
Join us for a basketmaking workshop for adults and mature teens led by an instructor trained in Chan’s technique. This session will craft baskets sized for treat baskets to hold anything from berries or Halloween candy. Materials provided. Space is limited, registration required. Free.
Noon - 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, Discovery Center, Art Lab

Note: Can’t make this session? This workshop is part of a series of basket-making workshops, in connection with our exhibition, How to Survive. Keep an eye out for future dates.
