Join basket craftswomen, Penny Hewitt for a basket-making workshop. Make your own basket and in the process learn one of the oldest crafts in human history. For thousands of years, baskets served as indispensable objects in every culture. Carry on the tradition and take home a beautiful, durable, and useful basket crafted from local and responsibly harvested, hand-pounded black ash logs. This is a great introduction to the extraordinary qualities of the black ash tree. Weave a square to the round basket, approximately 6"x 6" with an optional leather strap in a workshop that includes a discussion on how the material is harvested and processed.
