Make your own berry basket with crafter, Penny Hewitt, 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.

This is a great introduction to the extraordinary qualities of the black ash tree. Students will experience all the steps in the process, from a demonstration of pounding the log, to weaving their own unique, square to round basket with an optional leather strap.

Included is a discussion on identifying, choosing and harvesting a tree.
