Description

This lovely basket features a solid wooden base and handle. Experienced weavers will learn the technique of "French Randing" in this basket. Students are encouraged to bring their own dyed reed to class, if they choose. The basket will be beautiful either way. This class is not appropriate for beginners. Experienced weavers only.
We will work through lunch so everyone will leave with a completed basket. Be sure to bring lunch, snacks, and drinks.
Materials to weave the basket will be provided but you must bring some tools with you to class.
