At Capacity taking waitlist spots as well our next basket class is February 15th.
Joan Betzold, a basket weaver and weaving teacher for over 30 years, attends 40+ art, folk art, colonial, fiber and gardening shows a year. She has been honored as the Featured Artist at several nationally recognized shows. Joan designs, dyes the fibers, and weaves her original baskets using centuries old techniques without nails, glue, staples or molds.
Joan will guide you through the process of making a wool drying basket using a traditional bottom weave and antique crows feet. This type of basket was traditionally used to dry a clean fleece by the fire in the Colonial Americas.
The class will run from 10AM - 4 PM and costs $85/person. We have a limited number of openings. If you're interested, send us a private message with your contact info and we'll be in touch!
