The Gather Basket: "Little Red Riding Hood" 

This basket class is being offering only once this Spring at Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Dont miss out!

If you are hiking in the lush forest or leisurely exploring the corners of your very own garden, you can't deny having a charming basket to collect mushrooms, flowers, or herbs.

This basket is the perfect size to accommodate your foraged treasures: dimensions measuring approximately 10” x 10” Base, 8" weaving height, and a wooden swing handle that stretches to 14” in height. This basket will have a unique style, students will follow a pattern using 1/4”, 1/2”, 1" premium reed weavers and adding diagonal-colored weavers using the French Randing technique in the center of the basket. This will give it a stunning and unique look. Students will get to choose from a rainbow of color weavers.

The instructor will guide you through each step, ensuring that you create a truly beautiful Gathering Basket that will be the envy of all. This is a more advanced basket; we recommend that you have some knowledge in basket making prior to this class. Yet, if it is your first time, the instructor will help you along with all students to be successful with making their baskets.

The cost of this delightful experience not only includes the materials needed, such as premium reed and swing handle, but also covers the instruction that will leave you with the skills to continue your weaving adventures long after the class is over.

Come and create a unique and beautiful basket and gain a skill for life!
