Basket Weaving

About This Event

In this introductory basketry workshop, you will learn the basics of twining with red. Students will learn one way to start a base, build up walls, and will leave the workshop with a finished small basket!

Please note: Masking is now encouraged, but optional in the studio space. Individuals who feel uncomfortable using the space with others unmasked, whether for health or any other reason, are welcome to request mask wearing while they are using the studio space.
