Craft a gorgeous tote basket from start do finish during this workshop at Sweetwater Flower Market.

Sweetwater Studio

Join Sandi Moede and Sweetwater Flower Market in crafting a hand woven basket from start to finish. This sweet little basket is called a melon basket for its shape. It’s a ribbed basket and very easy for beginning weavers to make. It is 8 inches in diameter and has 2 wooden hoops for the rim and handle. Basket color is natural reed. Sandi will provide tips for staining it if you would like to dye the basket a different color. It’s perfect as a fruit basket or catch all basket by your front door or anything else you want to use it for. The basket is made of flat reed and is a sturdy basket that has multiple uses. A complete basket can be made in a few hours (not sitting in a closet waiting to be finished!) and it will be something to be used and not just sit on a shelf collecting dust. And the joy and sense of accomplishment that YOU made this will make you smile!Tickets are limited, so be sure to reserve yours today!Workshop includes: <ul><li>A seat in our lovely studio</li><li>An apron to wear during the workshop to protect your clothes from damp reeds</li><li>Personalized instruction</li><li>Tools</li><li>Basket supplies</li><li>A gorgeous 8in in diameter melon basket to take home! </li></ul>Ticket cost: $60/person *Note: No prior experience in basket weaving is necessary, however the basket does require focus. Class participation is for ages 18 and up. *Comfortable clothes that you don&#x27;t mind getting damp are encouraged.

Instructor Bio: Sandi Moede is a Colorado Springs native. Several years ago she took a basket weaving class like this one and knew that this would become a passion. She has made countless baskets and loves to share this ability with others. A complete basket can be made in a few hours (not sitting in a closet waiting to be finished!) and it will be something to be used and not just sit on a shelf collecting dust. And the joy and sense of accomplishment that YOU made this will make you smile!
