Create a beautiful handmade Porch Basket in this hands-on weaving workshop
led by Bonnie Rideout of Bonnie’s Baskets. This charming and functional basket
features a woven filled base, a sturdy D-handle, and an adorable embellishment
of squirrels playing on a fence—perfect for display or everyday use.
By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a finished basket and
new weaving skills you can use in future basket projects.
The finished basket measures approximately 8" H x 7¼" W x 13½" L
(not including the handle) and is woven with a 7" x 17" D handle.
While the example basket shown is stained, participants will complete
their baskets unstained and will learn staining techniques during the workshop.
Tickets $75 and include all materials
