Beginner Basket Weaving: A 1 Day Workshop with Nancy Kalos

In this workshop, you will learn basic basket weaving skills and create a round basket perfect to hold small items. The color of the embellishment band around the middle of the basket will be selected by each student using materials provided by the instructor. The opening at the top of the basket measures approximately 8 inches wide and the height of the basket ranges from 4 to 5 1/2 inches.  

 

Skill Level: Perfect if you have never woven before
