Weave your own Explorer Pack Basket

Join us for a hands-on weaving adventure! In this workshop, you will craft your own 10 to 12-inch pack basket using premium reed. We will explore the traditional history of pack baskets and the natural materials used to make them, while instructor Jes Steele guides you step-by-step to ensure everyone leaves with a beautifully finished basket—complete with a sturdy base, feet, and custom pack straps. We will also provide a selection of colorful reeds and straps so you can personalize your creation! What to bring: Water, lunch (we will take a 30 minute break), and snacks Anything you need to be comfortable for a full day of crafting Scroll down to read Jes’ bio, or learn more at woodthrushwilderness.com.
