Beginner Basket Weaving: A 1 Day Workshop with Nancy Kalos
In this workshop, you will learn basic basket weaving skills and create a market basket perfect for carrying flowers from your garden or holding a fresh loaf of bread at your table. The basket is woven around a ‘D’ handle which is 10 in. high and 6 in wide.  The basket bottom is 11 in. by 6in. and the rim is 14 in long and 7 in. wide.  The basket is 5 inches high.  Color options for ‘chain’ embellishment will be made available so students can choose.

​

Skill Level: Perfect if you have never woven before

  • Check payment is due within 2 weeks of your registration to secure your spot.

    • For active classes cancelled due to weather or instructor illness, a make-up time will be scheduled. 

    • Registered Students: Please notify the Weaving Center as soon as possible if there is a need to cancel your registration.
      - If there is a waiting list and the spot can be filled, a 3% processing fee will be deducted from the total refund if you have paid by credit. If you have paid by check and the spot can be filled, you will receive a full refund.
      - If a spot cannot be filled, no refund will be offered. This includes absences due to unexpected events or personal circumstances such as illness. Please contact us if supplies are included as part of the registration fee.
