Willow, ash and oak are the common Eastern U.S. material used for making traditional baskets, and in each case there is a considerable amount of work in preparing the materials for weaving. But there are ways to use these and other wild materials in their fresh, raw state.
Join Catherine Brooks to forage materials in the Rokeby woods and weave them into a simple melon basket that you'll take home the same day. After this, you'll be able to make more baskets on your own.
Participants will need to bring simple household tools and wear protective clothing.

Cost: $60/person.
