Bread Basket Weaving

Learn the basics of basket making (basketry) at this fun workshop.  The finished basket is sized approximately 6-8" at the base and 5-7" tall, based on your own preference for shape.  Its uses are quite versatile -  Perfect as a fruit basket, bread basket, or to hold trinkets or small books around the house. 

Add a plastic liner and you can use it as a decorative plant container too! Topics covered include reed sizing, styles, design of baskets, techniques for creating the base, shaping, continuous weaving, and lashing. Each ticket option is for one attendee only. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer the guest option for this workshop.

Note: some grip strength is a plus!

How do I book for a workshop?

The best way to book for a workshop is through our website.  We close sign up 48 hours prior to the workshop, or when it sells out, whichever comes first, so be sure to book ahead!

Can I bring my child to a workshop?

Yes, please make sure that your child is at least as old as the minimum age requirement  for the workshop and that they are accompanied by an adult.  Each adult can bring up to two minors to a workshop.  Each child should have their own ticket and no more than 1 adult caretaker.   Additional adults in your party should have their own ticket.

The workshop sign up is closed on-line, can I still sign up?

Please call the store to see if there is enough seating or materials available.  Last minute accommodations are up to the discretion of the store staff and host.  We recommend booking your tickets at least 48 hour in advance.  

Can I bring a guest to the workshop and they'll just sit with me and watch?
All workshop attendees need to have their own ticket.  However, an adult caretaker can accompany a minor younger than 18 years old free of charge (one adult per minor please).  Check your workshop details for minimum age requirements to ensure that the workshop is appropriate for the minor.  

Can I take my project home?

In most workshops, you will be able to complete and take the project home.  However, some projects require curing or drying time and may need to stay at the store until ready.  Please check your workshop description for details.
