Learn the basic skills of basket construction in this workshops, and leave with skills that allow you to create many more! Working with reed will give you the fundamental skills that you can then use to gather and work with other materials such as grasses, paper, cattail leaves, oak or hickory strips, or more reed. We will make a typical Appalachian market or garden basket and an all purpose round basket. If time permits, others styles may be made.
