Students will learn ribbed style basketry- a staple of the Appalachian basket tradition, brought to this area by Scots-Irish and German settlers. We’ll learn about a 4-point lashing (otherwise known as a God’s eye), how to set your primary and secondary ribs and filling in the weaving to make a beautiful basket you can really be proud of! Dyed reed and various fibers will add personalization to your special basket.
