Learn a basic twining technique to weave an open, flexible basket out of #1 round reed. This basket would be perfect to store yarn or display light materials hanging from a hook or nail. While most participants will finish their baskets during this 4-hour class, those who don't will leave with the knowledge and enough materials to complete their project at home. Completed baskets will measure approximately 1 ft high by 10 inches wide.
