Spend a fun day at the Weavers Guild starting with making a hat for your head! Using the basic basketry twining technique, create a perfect head covering for a summer day that fits and is styled exactly as you wish. Start with rattan reed and incorporate any naturals or other fillers you wish. Embellishments are up to you. Come prepared for a damp head while trying the hat on for fit. End the day showing off your lovely creation during the Guild’s trunk sale and potluck picnic!
