Details
Tiny but mighty, black ash mini baskets are wonderful, strong holders of small treasures, spare change, or favorite rocks. In this class students will learn how to prepare black ash splint material for weaving their mini baskets and will learn the continuous weave style. Students will be able to experience weaving a couple or more mini baskets over the course of two days.
No prior basket weaving skills are required but some hand strength and dexterity are necessary. Please note we will be working with a knife blade as part of the material preparation process.
