Make your own basket and in the process learn one of the oldest crafts in human history. For thousands of years, in every culture, people have been crafting beautiful, durable and useful vessels from the materials at hand. Carry on the tradition and take home a beautiful, durable and useful basket made from local and responsibly harvested, hand pounded black ash logs, with accents of willow and birch bark.

In this two day workshop, students will experience all the steps in the process, from a demonstration of pounding the log, to weaving their own unique basket. A leather strap, filled bottom and protective runners, make this basket a super sturdy one for toting tools, farmer's market finds, picnic lunches or anything else you can think of. Learn all the basics of black ash basketry plus some additional skills.
