Ribbed Basket Making Workshop Tickets, Thursday, Mar 19 from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm

Overview

Carleigh Fairchild shows you how to make a ribbed basket

Ribbed Basket Making Workshop

with Carleigh Fairchild

Thursday, March 19 | 9:30 – 1:30pm

You’ll learn how two hoops can be lashed together and woven to create a basket commonly called an egg or melon basket. The style is a ribbed basket as we add in round reed to form the 'ribs' which is what gives the basket its shape and structure. Ribbed baskets are great for gathering things: eggs, herbs, garden greens, your imagination is the limit for its use.

You’ll create and take home one ribbed basket with handle about 8"x8”x10”
