In this hands-on basket weaving class, students learn to transform natural materials into a strong, functional basket using traditional techniques. Beginning with the fundamentals—laying out a solid base and setting stakes—you’ll build upward with rhythmic weaving patterns that create structure, shape, and durability.
We’ll cover material preparation, tension control, shaping methods, and finishing techniques so your basket is both beautiful and built to last. Along the way, you’ll gain an appreciation for the patience, precision, and creativity woven into this timeless craft.
By the end of the class, you’ll leave with a completed basket and the foundational skills to continue weaving on your own.
