Weave your own Explorer Pack Basket
From publicly posted calendar Checked yesterday
About this event
One of 7 upcoming events at Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust.
Join us for a weaving adventure! In this course, we will weave a 10-12” tall basket with premium reed. We will go over the history of pack baskets and what materials have been used. The instructor will go through the process of making the basket step-by-step ensuring all will walk away with a finished basket. The baskets will have a base and feet along with pack straps. We will bring a variety of color straps and even color reeds to add a little color to your basket. Please bring water, lunch (we will have a 30 minute break), snacks, and anything else you need to be comfortable for a 5-hour day of basket weaving. Scroll down for Jes’ bio, or learn more at woodthrushwilderness.com. Cost & registration The fee for materials and instruction is $150, or $120 for Coastal Rivers members. Note: we will not be able to issue refunds after November 19. Please register using the form below. Questions? Email Kyle at [email protected].
