Participants will weave a sweet little basket that will be useful in the garden and around the house. The basket measures 6x6x6 with a handle that swings out of the way. This class is perfect for first-time weavers or experienced weavers.

Materials to weave the basket will be provided but you must bring some tools with you to class.
