Register Today to Make Your Berry Basket Weaving!
Join master Basket Maker Shannon Lucas Westrum for a hands-on basket weaving workshop on Saturday, May 23, from 10AM - 4 PM!
This workshop includes weaving a round base, adding upright accent spokes, lashing with cord, cutting, and riveting your own leather handle. Great for collecting berries and mushrooms, this piece has a lot of versatility. The finished basket will measure 7" across the base, 6 1/4” across the top, and 5” high (not including leather handle).
*Thanks to an Arts Education Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, participant cost for this workshop has been reduced by more than 60%, and all materials are included free of cost. $30 per maker.
The instructor will provide all necessary tools (shears, weights, towels, wash tubs, etc). Hand dexterity required.
$30 per maker. Ages 14+. There will be a 1/2hr lunch break. Lunch will not be provided.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
