Weave a Leather Handle table Basket

Want to learn a new skill? How about basketry?

I promise. It's really not as hard as it may look! Connie has nearly 24 years of weaving experience, has woven hundreds of baskets and has been teaching on the local level for several years.

With its simple and minimalistic lines this basket is sure to be a great addition to any home. Decorate for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Use it for  storage on an open shelf. Catch the mail.  Fill it with gift basket items. You have lots of wonderful choices for this basket!

This basket is great for any level of weaver but is especially good for beginners and has an emphasis on laying a rectangular base, shaping corners and lashing on a sturdy rim. The handcrafted leather handles make this a beautiful as well as useful basket!

All levels of weavers are invited to attend this class but keep in mind that basket weaving requires manual dexterity and  a moderate amount of strength. Young weavers welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. The cost for this class includes instruction and use of specialized tools. Registrations are limited and close on Nov. 1st.  Hope to see you there! To register go to Driftless Folk School today.
